just uploaded pics of my first ever serious build a couple of years ago an f-15e ....
heheehe please CRITICIZE how bad my work was #:-) #:-) #:-)

Looks good Flex! I can never do such clear canopies #:-) One reason why I left my roots (aircraft modelling) and stumbled onto armor - and stayed! hehehehe What did you use to mask the canopy?

BTW, I thought all Strike Eagles were painted in a dark, almost black color?

Also, a query on the black "smoke stain" coming out of the slats above and behind the intake - do they really appear as if exhaust comes out of them? I am under the impression that this is an exit for air, say, in high angles of attack or such. Sorry for nitpicking but I really am not that knowledgeable now on aircraft.

The color is very good. What did you use? Pano mo napakintab yung canopy? Future? The canopy looks tinted too. What did you add? I just want to comment on the Afterburners, is it just me or is it really painted in black? AFAIK, it's either mettalic grey or gunmetal.

Overall it looks pretty nice to me di lang kita yung underneath at rear ng plane.

GI: well yup ur right i really dont know or you could say im not sure because when i made this kit my references were mostly from the ARC website and ive found some putting streaks on those vents...maybe some guys here at armorama could shed some light to it #:-)
the mask i used is MAGIC TAPE made by 3m i think but right now im trying a techique using just white glue then letting it dry so instant mask i think...heheehe wait till i peel it off my superhornet....hope that technique works

the concept behind it is that since the canopy is smoothed peeling off the white glue would be easy
ShONEN: well actually would you believe i used an automotive paint for that? hhehee i think the color was steel gray a bit bluish gray im not even sure if the paint was right for an F-15 e

regarding the canopy just buffed it using a Buffer for nails hehee just got it from my sister ...didnt use any future

and the burner cans really looked black due to the poor resolution i guess or maybe because of the technique that i used a long time ago by first spraying with silver then coating with very thinned black but looks too black to me #:-) #:-) #:-) #:-)

Buffer for nails? Yan ba yung parang nasa small bottle na clear yung liquid sa loob with an attached brush on the cap called cutex?? (tama ba spelling?)

I thought you used Future on the canopy too. Nice, clean build, Flex. Great job on the F-15E.
Cant wait to see more of your work. Thanks for sharing!

nope its more like a sandpaper i thinnk watsons sells that kind and according to the package its called a satin buff nail shiner.....parang pangkikil.... #:-) ill try to take a pic of it or download from the net if i have time

thanks for your comments guys!
