Tamiya's 1/48 F-15A Eagle

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

Sorry My fellow Dudes - it's been so manic here I've only been getting about 1\2 hour bench time a week at the moment :whiteflag:

I'll try and get some pictures up tomorrow.

Well it's been awhile but I'm still making (very slow) progress - I'm still working on the internals!

Apologies for crap pictures - All I have to hand at the mo is my kindle.

What sort of colour are the intake internals - white?

The intakes would be grey to about half way down, then they would be white.

You are moving right along! Looking good.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Nice work so far. Nice to see that Tamiya provided the engine fronts. Too bad they did not provide the intake trunking to the fronts.
Any idea of which unit you plan to choose for markings? I know that they are all pretty similar aside from tail codes and unit/command badges.

You sold it?! :headslap:

So I guess no more 1/48 builds for you until this tide turns?
