1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle

Gallery Article by Mark Chen on Apr 19 2011

 

Here is the excellent Revell F-15E Strike Eagle built with parts from Academy's latest F-15E to represent a jet which participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom. I used the LAU-128 launchers, several weapons and decals from the Academy kit.

The build was rather straight-forward all thanks to the great fitting Revell kit. I painted it with Gunze Mr Hobby acrylic paints and Alclad for the exhaust sections. 

Weathering was done with Tamiya enamels for the panel-lining and oil stain streaking. The exhaust nozzles were weathered with pastel chalks. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed the build!
