This is converted
from the 1/48 Hasegawa F-15J. Construction is similar to any Hasegawa's
Eagles. I had used Mr.Color for the paint and a lot of masking tape. The plastic
must be very smooth if not the paint will show scratch lines. The changes are
the shorter speed brakes used in the pre-production F-15s. Included are the nose
boom and a white antenna at the rear of the canopy. Wheels were painted black as
per early F-15s and also opening of all the landing gear doors. This eagle does
not have any landing lights so as to save weight and also it used a Escapac
ejection seat which
will be added to this kit later, and feathered nozzles.

Superscale decals
and decals from scrap box were used. The painting instructions in the superscale
set did not indicate the specific paints and I had to rely on the instructions
from the Hasegawa F-15A Streak Eagle for paint information. I will like to thank
ARC and their members for their valuable information posted on the site over the
years.
