Building the Tamiya 1/48th Scale F-15C "Eagle" Fighter Jet

This video chronicles my build of a 1/48th scale McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle fighter Jet - Tamiya kit #61029.
I used a mixture of black shading, the marbling/mottling technique, pre-shading, and panel washes to exhibit a weathered effect on the model.
Clips of the construction, sanding, masking, overall painting and detailing of this model are shown.
I deviated from the decals supplied in the box to custom brand this jet as a Lakenheath RAF based U.S. F-15.

I spent 3 years on Okinawa working on the SR-71 and Kc-135 tankers. Across the way were the F-15C models. I watched hundreds taxi by, take off and land, as well as fly overs. Your painting brings out a lot of details that were visible on these hard worked jets. You did a great job on detail and creativity. 👍

[@MaxAfterburner]

Hi happycamper137, so many exciting things you did see for sure! I'm glad you feel that I've captured some of that realism of a working military flightline jet! Thanks for your service! ✈️ 😎

[@tomstav8555]

not gonna lie, probably one of the most informative videos, learnt a lot from painting techniques to weathering techniques. thanks:)

[@MaxAfterburner]

Hi Tom, that's great! There are many ways of doing things to get much the same results often. However, the techniques that are the most comfortable for the hobbyist to utilize usually enhance the experience and the end product.

[@JohnBarrow1961]

Fabulous job. After 40+ years, the Eagle remains one of the baddest fighters on the planet.

[@MrDutchy83]

Absolutely loved the idea of camo templating from the instruction manual, such a great idea. I am just about to start my own F-15C Tamiya soon and whilst I do not have an airbrush just yet there are many things in your video that have helped me and given me the confidence to try. Beautiful build, I can only hope I will be able to produce work like yours one day. Thanks!

[@MaxAfterburner]

Hi MrDutchy83, good luck and I'm glad to hear that the video might help out on your project. 🙂

[@strategosopsikion8576]

Looks great!!! It’s funny how models are like paintings... they don’t seem to look right until the final 20% of work is carried out. Then it all comes together! Nice job on the weathering!!!!

Awesome video, this should be a template for all modeling vids. I have been painting by hand for years, and for the first time I am tempted to go out and get an airbrush.

[@notthatdonald1385]

I just built this exact model. "Loaded." I have advanced to *maybe* 75% of your skill at this time. It is an excellent kit to work with. Lastly I built a 1/48 Grumman S-2 'Cal Fire' water bomber, with custom paint scheme, and decals. *It was a big challenge* !

[@MaxAfterburner]

Hi VooDoo Nights, glad your project worked out in the end 😃

[@oliverdots]

I used to live in Brandon so as soon as you said, "LN", I knew it was Lakenheath. The flight path went over my garden and that unique sound as the throttle was momentarily pushed, just amazing and I still don't know what caused that amazing sound. You'd also hear it on take-off, just this amazing WHOOOP sound. I'd sit in the car park at the end of the runway and watch. By far my fav US fighter as well. Your build looks amazing. Just amazing. Well done and thank you for sharing.

[@Mors_Inimicis]

That’s a fantastic job and shows what can be accomplished right out of the box. My only criticism, and it’s aimed at Tamiya, is that they supplied incorrect nozzles for the C. The C models onwards dispensed with the ‘turkey feathers’ on the nozzles.

[@MaxAfterburner]

Thanks ZD433 🙂. Someone gave me a broken up F-15 model that has the correct engine nozzles. I'm thinking of cannibalizing them and replacing the Tamiya parts on that F-15C build.

Another video enjoyed, thank you. I had a close encounter with one of these and quite possibly a Lakenheath F15. I had walked up Stake Pass, Great Langdale, Lake District UK. I was at the top of the pass when I heard the F15 approaching. The pilot waived at me as he passed by and entered a barrel role. He then accelerated down Langstrath towards Keswick and vanished rapidly. It was rather exciting to be honest.

This was one of the first Tamiya aircraft kits i ever built. my uncle gave me one for my birthday back in the mid 1980's. I did a fairly decent job with the painting etc considering i wouldn't discover airbrushes for a few more years. The big mistake i made though, was trying to secure the nose weight with a lot of polystyrene cement. The nose cone melted somewhat leaving a disfigured nose cone :( Still, everything behind the nose looked pretty good :) I learned a lot from that kit, mainly that too much cement will melt the plastic, and was able to put most of it to good use in later kits.
