My dad flew F-15s for the Grim Reapers in Lakenheath for a couple years. Awesome squadron. They have one of the best squadron bars I’ve ever seen.

[@jasperzanjani]

that instruction book is BEAUTIFUL

[@PerisModels]

Thanks

[@hawaiidispenser]

What a beauty! The weathering, staining effects turned out wonderful in the final reveal. The plane looks like it lived a long life sitting out in the sun and being flown hard.

[@PerisModels]

Thank you 😊

[@ianssight2785]

It's a simple thing, but I really appreciate how you go about modeling. Wearing gloves, using the right tool for the job for cutting and scribing. It really a great demonstration to young modelers on how to model safe and produce great results.

[@PerisModels]

Thank you very much

[@trippylummox274]

I was stationed at Lakenheath for 6 yrs. Worked on these very jets, in the 493rd FS. Outstanding detail, and the oil/dirt/grime really made it come to life. Great work!

[@PerisModels]

Thank you

[@stevenyoung1999]

Was there a huge Irish guy(civilian security) on the gate doing vehicle searches when you were there? I did some work on lakenheath for a few weeks, this Irish guy was enormous, easily 6’10 if not more, one time I was sat waiting for my turn to be searched, he comes strutting over, wanders past the air force dog handler with M4 & Belgian Malinois in either hand, (not sure which one was more scary), then decides to put his hand out to stroke the said Malinois…a tenth of a second later you’ve never heard a bigger guy scream so much, shredded coat sleeve and blood everywhere with the Malinois snarling and yanking it’s head side to side ripping his skin off….soldier virtually whispered something and the dog was at ease again, albeit with a full belly 😂, Irish guy goes off to get medical treatment while the 20 odd people also waiting to be searched were rolling around laughing. My best memory at lakenheath was every Friday the f15 pilot who’d done best that week got to do a vertical take off where they immediately go vertical as soon as the wheels leave the ground, the noise was ridiculous and the whole base shook like an earthquake

[@seanerk5kt9]

The resin dust and white glue to replicate the sheepskin is an outstanding solution. Awesome tip my friend :)

[@PerisModels]

Cheers buddy 🤗🤗🤗

[@ramboplaysm14]

That is an awesome idea I am going to have to do to my 1/48 jets too and my 1/32 when I get another Strike Eagle to build

[@dalesharpy9197]

I actually watch the live feeds from Lakenheath, busy place!!

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 1 October, 2024) Watching you build this lustrously detailed kit is pure joy! Well, almost: keen pangs of deep disappointment that I cannot participate . . . . Well, thank you for what delight I can have. I so fervently admire you for your talents here. As I watch your build, I wish a more experienced modeller would demonstrate for the rest of us how to assemble and detail aircraft kits in flight, the propeller (for those with them) spinning, the undercarriage retracted, a pilot in the seat, the flight controls re-positioned, the instrument panel dials indicating his sharp manœuvres at high altitude, etc. . . . Both your ailerons (at the far end of each wing, on the trailing edge) are set to the negative, which is erroneous. They are how the pilot banks the aircraft, one always elevated, the other always declined.

[@georgewelch2366]

You could actually leave the wings off when painting the fuselage and attach them after final assembly. It makes handling this monster so much easier.

[@PerisModels]

You will need to fill the seam between the fuselage and wing tho

A little bit about this particular aircraft, 86-156: "During one of the Close Air Support mission above/near the former Yugoslavia Col. Cesar Rico Rodriguez shot down a Serbian MiG-29. On March 24 1999 he downed the Fulcrum when flying aircraft 86-169/LN, using an AIM120 AMRAAM. On the same day the Squadron shot down another MiG-29 with aircraft 86-159/LN, using three AIM120's. Two days later, on March the 26th, aircraft 86-156/LN shot down two more MiG-29's in the afternoon, using two AMRAAM's as well. Within 72 hours the 493rd killed four Fulcrums!"

Stunning kit. Great result. I see both control flaps (roll) are hanging down.......... Is this correct? Should one of them not point up.........?? That would be logical, to me.

thank you I wouldn't know but I just followed the kit

[@telescopereplicator]

@@PerisModels There could be a technical reason for it. If anyone knows, please tell us. But the control flaps for roll (ailerons) always work in opposite directions, otherwise the airplane could never roll...! ;-)

[@dorsetdumpling5387]

This brought out the detective in me! I did find a couple of youtube vids of eagles being started up from which I deduce that the ailerons do both droop down before the engine is started and presumably hydraulic power becomes available. Just call me Sherlock....

Great Detail, but No riveting ON the Wings , Same with the E Version . Tamiya really dropped the ball there, VERY disappointing !!!!

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 1 October, 2024) Are you saying the actual F-15C has “rivets”, but Tamiya failed to include them? Ot that they put “rivets” where none exist on the actual fighter? It is an older kit of an older production of the real F-15 (an early -C variant), which manufacturing process used spot welding (many mistake these as ”rivets”, which aircraft makers have not used on exterior surfaces e.g., the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang USAAF fighter, the Chance Vought F4U Corsair USN/USMC Fighter, and other later Second World War combat aircraft). Tamiya evidently copied this. Now kit designers scan an object with fine lasers in all three geometric dimensions for precision measurements down to round 10 microns. (I am no expert; I am an avid reader on certain topics, a word nerd-I am NOT a maths whiz, or a techie!-an aspiring novelist, essayist, classical vocalist, illustrator, graphics artist, model kit builder, etc.)
