All the F-15E's are gunship grey, and the C's are now agressor grey and F-15 dark grey.
The M47 looks sharp, Carlos!

Thanks John. It looks much better now in warpaint.
I thought that most of the A’s & C’s still around had gone the darker “Mod Eagle” scheme.

That is the Mod Eagle scheme, Carlos. Earlier scheme was with Air Superiority Blue. Mod Eagle is 36176 F-15 Dark Grey, and 36251 Aggressor Grey, but the light and dark compass ghost grey scheme was an alternate, apparently. Here's the instructions from a Repliscale decal sheet.

Mike and Stuart, thank you. I need to deal with some detail item painting, then I can get the markings on and move on to the next stages.

So yesterday was bit more work on the road to completion,
I painted the road wheel and return roller tires using Mission Models Rubber Black. Then I airbrushed on a coat of Future in preparation for decals
Then I had to give the tracks a test fit…
Decals coming soon…

And the decals are now on! Not that many, even if some are a bit large and gaudy.
These Star Decals are a bit thick and matt in finish. It’s taken a few doses of Solvaset to get the larger ones to conform to the texturing.
