Here is the latest boxing of Revell's excellent F-15E.![]() As is usual when I build a kit with an open ending box. Tape the sides and cut off the bottom. ![]() ![]() Intakes interiors painted prior to assembly. ![]() The cockpit and IP's are lighter than they appear in this picture. ![]() As this is an out-of-the box review I will be using the kit supplied IP decals. ![]() And here they are applied using Micro Set & Sol. ![]() ![]() The Sol & Set have just been applied in the picture. I'll post a picture showing how/if they settle down. T.T.F.N. Steve |

Wings are fairly straight-forward. There is a lower piece to attach to the upper fuselage section followed by an end piece to give you the F-15's distinctive curve at the wing tip. ![]() And very quickly you get to this stage. ![]() The fit so far has been very good with little need for filler yet other than to finish off seams. Tomorrow I'll be attaching the CFT's, u/c and any other bits I have time for. T.T.F.N. Steve |

Trying to decide what load to put on. GBU-15's or 10's. Or can I use both? |

They are both versions of the trusty Mk84 dumb bomb.... the GBU15 is the "Glide bomb" ...whereas the GBU-10 is the LGB PII version. (just read WIKI ....seems the GBU 15 is more a stand off weapon ..."fire and forget" , whereas the 10 has to be laser guided ) I would use the Mil Mi 24 killer ....the GBU-10 ![]() Andy |

More temptation, even though grey jets are not really my thing. Memories of the last ever air show at Wethersfield, must have been 1986 or '87. peebeep |
