Tamiya's 1/48 F-15A Eagle

All things jet, no props and Stik...no armor even though the M1 is turbin powered.

Just started basic construction of all the sub-assemblies that fit in the lower fuselage half - Pic's to follow.

Cheers Dudes - Have a great weekend!

Nice! I haven’t done an F-15 Eagle kit in years.

That's a big bird on a small work bench. Have fun, Stuart!

Thanks Gents,

Still working on the cockpit - so far nothing picture worthy. I've got the basic painting done and the decal IP and side-consoles on.

Yeah. Pictures.

Come on Stuart! Cockpit pics are a must, especially if you have several steps to show. Come on man, post them up!
