REVELL F-15E Strike Eagle 1/144 [Build Review]

[@guy-be-man6908]

Definitely one of the best 1/144 builds I have seen on KZbin, lots of detail like weapon markings that would usually get overlooked

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you so much, that means a lot 😊

[@swing.wing_singh]

Excellent build. That shine on the canopy is amazing. Almost crystal clear. And yes the blue stripes indicate dummy weapons.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Yes, that rotary tool is quite useful. I hope to also use it for diorama creation one day!

[@EivindBorgersen]

This is awesome. I’ve just got this kit on a whim, thanks for the detailed run through of your build-looks amazing!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@EivindBorgersen Thank you! I hope you enjoy the building process!

[@McRogson]

I had just purchased this model and it was very good to see how you went about it. And certainly give me ideas on the weathering. Nice job and keep up the good work.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot Michael, I will!

[@sukhoisu-27flankerbdude92]

I just started modeling and you videos always give me advice for my next model

Not amateurish at all, very nice job 👍

Thanks a lot Can!

[@Ralle1968]

Sehr schön geworden.Für mich persönlich ist dieser Maßstab zu klein,da würde ich mir wahrscheinlich die Finger zusammen kleben🤣🤣🤣

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Kannst ich gut verstehen! Nachdem ich drei in dem Maßstab gebaut hab kann ich es kaum erwarten endlich wieder was größeres zu bauen 😅

[@RogueStatusFishing]

Hope you're still modeling. You're a huge inspiration!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Yes I am, whenever I find the time! Actually there will be a new video in the next few days so stay tuned 😉

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot!

[@henrysanchez4810]

Very nice!!! you are correct the blue capped or striped ordnance are inert dummies..

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks for watching Henry 👍

[@henrysanchez4810]

@@Starfishscalemodeling you are welcome...

[@TheNeo06660]

Next time try this instead, gloss varnish, decals, gloss varnish, oil for weathering. maybe you will have a more uniform finish between the model and the decals. you can spray a mat varnish at the end to remove the glossy effect if necessary

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@TheNeo06660 That's what I do mostly nowadays. Sadly there's still no guarantee that it prevents silvering, especially with bad decals that don't have enough adherence.

[@grizzly4736]

I think it looks rather good sir. Shame the decals were so thick. Hasegawa decals tend to be thick and difficult to get thinned. Revell usually are pretty good. Overall still a good build. 👍

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

thanks a lot Grizzly!

[@IzmirAviator]

Yes blue stripes mean it is inert so it is for training!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks man ☺️

[@eg0_hd185]

Sieht schön aus !

[@JoeSmith-rw1ex]

Keep up the work one day people will notice you and your views will go up keep trying👍 oh and yes I also think the KZbin algorithm is broken I recently saw your black hawk helicopter from 3 years ago and I instantly subscribed

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot man!

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Very nice result 👌

[@hozongxi]

A really smooth gloss coat will eliminate the silvering. No amount of setting solution will help if the surface is not completely smooth - the surface unevenness is just too small for the solution to help conform.

[@flying.models1136]

Very nice build. Next time use a glossy or a glossy black primer for metalparts like the engine. The results are way better than.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Sounds like a good idea!

[@preshannaidoo7479]

Amazing for this scale

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks mate!

[@peanut1120]

what kind of paint do you use in your airbrush and how do you prepare it, i tried using enamel and acrylic however it just blocks it up all the time

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

I use acrylics mixed with Airbrush thinner or tap water. Clogging is still a problem sometimes, even when I add drying retarter...

[@peanut1120]

@@Starfishscalemodeling hey thanks for the quick reply, what do you use when cleaning it, i still have some dry paint on the needle

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

For cleaning acrylics I use Vallejo airbrush cleaner, for enamels I would use white spirit

[@peanut1120]

@@Starfishscalemodeling also can you please explain what priming does exactly

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@peanut1120 It helps subsequent paint layers to "grip"

[@richardrosenau9292]

Instead of using the "gum" in the wheel bay, try tissue and toilet paper or cotton ball and light dampness. Easy to remove and should be successful

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks for that, I'll try it on my next kit!

You are a very good model builder , they look all very nice , do you plan to build an F-4 in the future ?

[@stephenkastory2322]

I was in the USAF, I was a crew chief. I worked FB-111A, and every type of F-4 that was in the USAF inventory. I first worked the RF-4C at Udorn AFB in Thailand. After that I worked F-4C to F-4G and really enjoyed it. I am now trying to model the aircraft that I had my name painted on.

[@stephenkastory2322]

You’re 1/144 aircraft look very well built and painted. Good job.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Not really a plane I'm interested in but if you would send me a kit I'll build it 😉

Wo kaufst du die ganzen Farben und das ganze Zubehör? Hast du Tipps für die Ju A-4 / D-1 ? Habe mir vor kurzem dieses Modell gekauft und wollte fragen ob du dieses Modell auch bauen wirst oder ob du irgendwelche Vorschläge zur Umsetzung hast. Mit freundlichen grüßen aus Oberösterreich

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Servus! Viele der Werkzeuge hab ich billig aus China bestellt; was Farben betrifft schau mal bei superhobby! Meinst du die Ju-88? Vom Zweiten Weltkrieg hab ich bis jetzt nur eine 109 gebaut. Falls du mehr Fragen hast, einfach kommentieren und ich werd versuchen in einem der nächsten Videos darauf einzugehen! LG aus Graz

[@daschenner]

@@Starfishscalemodeling ja die Ju 88. sorry für den Fehler. Ich habe eben bisher bis auf eine Bf 109 (die komplett hässlich geworden ist) auch noch keine aus dem 2. Weltkrieg gebaut. Eine Spitfire ist noch in Arbeit. Oba danke schon mal für die Info. Finde das komplett geil dass nu ein anderer Österreicher des Hobby hat. Mach weiter mit den Videos!

Most people don't realize that no matter what you post on KZbin if you get 1,000,000 likes you get 1,30,000$ every million likes. I'm looking for the biggest scale plastic model and 3D printing out of foam make my own EDF r,c helicopters and jets. I've been flying r c helicopters and jets for 20 years and at the moment I'm building an Airwolf 1,72 with my XK 130 electric r,c helicopter scale product plus I'm building a F-15 balsa wood kit to 30mm EDF 6 channel flying model then when I find Reveals biggest plastic then I'm up scaling to foam EDF jet's with the process of turbine or glow or electric or pulse but I will be building a flying r,c jet that started off as a kit for looks that will go at least 140 mph.Jason Falcon 76.
