F-15 Sprint Eagle

I think that the difference in diameter may be because of the fact that Hasegawa's F-16 nozzles(both the GE and P&W) have a part of the Viper's aft fuselage molded along with it. That section tapers down to the nozzle's diameter further back and that doesn't happen with the Eagle.
I say this because i'm using Hase's F-16 for the F-16W build and i had to cut that fuselage section out of a nozzle to be able to have the correct length and diameter to attach the F-22's nozzle and just a few mm were enough to make a considerable difference in diameter.
Regardless, this is looking like quite a nice conversion and it'll probably look very cool when done!  :thumbsup:

Finally it's done, but unfortunately it's a tad tail heavy. The slightest gradient, it will sit on its tail. Got to fix it later  :-\ .













Comparing with another whiffy that I'd done a long while back

I'm not surprised it's tail heavy with those 2 monster engines matey  :wacko:
The cool thing is those engines look just right on the 15s frame so bitchin build man  :thumbsup:
This I like a hell of alot but most things with 2 stonking big engines does  ;D
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Someone on here did drawings of F-4 and F-15 with swapped wings.
They looked good.
I thought i'd saved them but apparently not.
