This first exciting episode shows how I handle cleaning up and painting the intake trunks as well as how I go about replicating the inside of the exhaust nozzles.
FANTASTIC! You hit it out of the park with the intakes and exhausts! It brought back memories of jumping in them every day and inspecting them. It's been 22 years since I last worked on the airplane, but it feels like it was yesterday. Thank-you Sean
Never have exhausts been so interesting.!.A great video on intake and exhaust construction and painting.The inside exhaust grime and streak painting effects are the best I’ve seen on u-tube.Great stuff🇬🇧🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏👍
I remember when that D-model 83-046 was stationed at Langley AFB, VA in the late '90s early '00s. I worked avionics (B-Shop) on the F-15A, B, C, D, & E models from '89 to '10.
Thought I would end 2020 watching one of my favorites! Primedmodelworks doing the best of the best! No end to this type of talent folks! There is an F-15C in my stash just because of this video! Want to see it really get good? Check out the Challenger! MInd.......blown! Happy New Year Primed! Keep feeding us the is goodness!
You can plug the intakes and dump regular latex house paint in, slosh it around until everything is coated. Remove the plug (I use tape) and dump out the rest. Hang to dry. The thick paint will fill in imperfections and leave the surface ultra smooth.
Great job buddy ! I'm looking at getting one if these F-15s ! I have a Tamiya one and I've just recently bought the " Seymour Johnson " Academy kit both in 1/48th scale. I don't really collect F-15s I just love modern military stuff and I have an idea to build my favourite of the u.s airforce ! But I'd like to get one of these kits ! Or at least a GWH F-15. I've just got a mig-29 of GWH !!! Great idea with the Mr surfacer I'll have to try that !
My second question...yay! So I just got this kit yesterday. First, it looks awesome. What is your opinion on maybe making one of the engines removed for maintenance?
This ones definitely got a lot of detail...I’ve built a couple of the Tamiya F15E’s but it’s been a while so I don’t much remember...I’m getting old and my memory’s failing :(. I like the bigger scales but these 1/48’s are much simpler.
