[@matildamodels]

Wow! Excellent work! You know it’s not easy to build up.

[@modelsforfun]

Thank you my friend. Yes, most of the tíme took me to putty and sand this model. Lot of innacurrities. But Im satisfied with the result.

[@cesarrodriguezcastaneda494]

Excellent work my friend, congratulations. Cheers.

[@RWOModels]

This is a really nice F-15, well done! Inspires me to try this one myself, thanks for posting! 👍🙂

[@modelsforfun]

Your welcome friend 🙂. Be careful with filling and sanding. It has a lot of fit innacurrities.

[@RWOModels]

Thank you, good to know... 🙂 I’m currently building an Italeri A-6 and this is a real nightmare regarding fit issues. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@modelsforfun]

@@RWOModels Italeri kit are very challenging by its fit and soft plastic. Wish you luck with the Intruder build.

[@RWOModels]

Thank you! 🙂 I didn’t want to build any more Italeri kits for the time being, but I feel like I need another challenge... 😬

[@modelsforfun]

@@RWOModels So true. 👍🙂

[@liordavidov5227]

I really like the work you did! The panel lines are just perfect, not too dark like some have.

[@pumelo1]

Jo stará dobrá Akademka, ta mi neudělaná leží ve skříni. Na začátku 90 let nej model v teto velikosti.Víš co máš na tom modelu nejvíc odfláknuté? Krycí panely motoru a výstupní trysky tam si to chtělo více pohrát

[@lubikhracky9435]

How come box showed Alaskan plane but you had Oregon decals? I'm looking for the Oregon model but have only seen the Alaskan one on eBay. Do they come with both sets of decals?

[@modelsforfun]

Hi. No they dont. The original Alaskan decals from box where too brithle and fell apart. I had to order new different decals in 1/72 scale from Printscale.

[@breakaway414]

I built this kit and it looks really good. But those decals killed me i really disliked Them. I see you had some troubles too. But your result is amazing.

[@modelsforfun]

Yes. The decals apply was probematic. Thank you my friend. Happy modeling 😉

[@sleepingrabbit4011]

I'm not sure why but academy decals aren't as good as some of the other brands. I too had trouble with an F-16 kit the decals were just terrible..

[@lucianodeltorchio1912]

Well done! Are the masking putty reusable?

[@modelsforfun]

Hi. Do you mean masking tape or putty? For masking tape, no, its a one way ticket for them. After masking is complete I throw them in the trash. If you mean putty. It Can be diluted olny once. The consistecy will fall apart in the second diluting. After drying out, the putty is simply sanded down.

[@modelsforfun]

Hi there again. If you mean masking putty from MiG Jimenez. Yes, it Can be resauble again.

[@lucianodeltorchio1912]

MODELS for FUN yes, this is the answer. Thanks. Ciao.

[@modelsforfun]

@@lucianodeltorchio1912 You are welcome 😉

[@Horrorcomico400]

This is my first plane and is horrible mine yours is awesome but mine no

[@modelsforfun]

Next time you will do better. 🙂

[@halonsox]

Academy Models have the worst decals in the whole model scale industry... they are just... lousy.

[@modelsforfun]

You said it bro. True!

[@halonsox]

@@modelsforfun indeed once I bought an F86 Saber 1.48, whch it was a beautiful model indeed but decals were just horrid and they broke like dry autum leaves! They didn' get fix with just water and when they did they broke in matter of days, I was so pissed off because it was not a cheap model and I couldn't get other decals to replace those in my country.

[@modelsforfun]

@@halonsox Well thats a pity. An expensive kit and such lousy decals. I also dont trust them. Best solution is to cut a piece of the not needed decals and try them if they are ok. I have very bad experience with Academy decals. Also ICM decals are very bad.

[@ashpitcher3]

Lovely job! Can I ask where you got the external fuel tanks from please? Finding it hard to obtain some for my build.

[@modelsforfun]

Thank you. I have lots of other versions of the Eagle from different manufactures. Some combination of other weapon aditionals come in handy. I do it very often.
