1/48 Monogram F-15C Eagle

Hi friends of ARC.  Here are some pictures of my Monogram F-15C Eagle that I built some years ago.  The kit has very good detail and like most old style Monogram kits, it has raised panel lines.

The kit was assembled mostly out of box; I only added a resin seat and wheels from True Details and some parts in the canopy obtained from the old Model Technologies photoetched set.  The under wing tanks are from the Fujimi kit.

The cockpit itself is fantastic and very close to the real thing if compared with the pictures in Lock’On 4.  It was a challenge for me to do the very meticulous painting on the instrument panels and I’m very happy with the result.

For painting I used Humbrol enamels, typical grey colours for USAF planes over a primer coat Model Master (Grey Primer); the metallic areas were painted with Model Master metalizer colours but the finish brightness was not as shiny as I hoped but watching the real plane this area becomes a little opaque with the heat of the engines.

The decals are from Superscale and I used an entire sheet of stencils; this almost drives me crazy applying so many little lettering, little numbers and symbols!

I hope you enjoy it.  Happy modelling,
