This is the basic outline of what my four engined ... thing ... is going to look like.
Don't think I can even claim it as a development of the F-15 given what it looks like now!  :D

The fresh plastic is airfix F-15E, the old stuff is academy F-15C. I'll be using airfix's wings, the academy ones are just there for effect  B)



Not sure where the tail/s going to go yet ... suggestions?

edit: 200 posts and not one completed model. I think my time management is screwed!    :lol:

Well, Cat, that kitten sure does not purr,  ¡¡¡¡¡ IT ROARS !!!!!

I like the shape, kinda 1970's hypersonics.

wow!

OK, I know I can't stop scratchbuilding. Someday, I will build something OOB....

Maybe this could be the design that the Yanks came up with after the successful capture of the MiG-31 Firefox? This thing just screams out Firefox to me.

No matter how you do it, I know you're onto a winner here Cat!

YES Zac has a good point! Reverse engineered firefox!!!! Or a private built replica of the firefox!!

Briiiiiiiiiilliant!!!  :lol:  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Right ... this is the first time I've tried to do something like this, so ignore the state of the milliput. The port side isn't sanded as I had to snap it off and reattatch it, so that's fresh filler.




First time i've used plasticard as a gap-filler instead of just wings, I think it went OK :)




And from the back ...



It even looks fast  B)


Still not sure what to do with the vertical stabs tho. Or, for that matter, what I'm gonna call it or what scheme it's gonna be done in! There's no plan here at all, I'm just building. I don't have voices guiding me, unfortunately. Either that, or my usual voices are having a kip  <_<

*sob*

nobody cares!

Oh, I care! B) I love what you've done so far. Keep it up> :D As far as the voices go, they're there, you're just used to hearing them.  ;)  :lol: I usually channel mine in the beginning with a some loud and aggressive music. Ya know, like some Pantera (Great Southern Trendkill) and or any Megadeth or Metallica. Your tastes may vary. :P  :lol: Looking forward to more of your bashing!!!

Look behind you!

The only Pantera album I ever bother listening to anymore is Reinventing Hell. Everything you need in one place, in my humble opinion :)

The voices fall asleep before I do these days, they aren't half as vocal as they used to be. My usual brain comes up with far more bizarre stuff than the voices.  
(does that mean the voices now have control? There's a disturbing thought ... it might explain the sleep patterns and the random things I say and do and the drinking and the smoking. Crap.)

Anyhoo, back on topic briefly, I'm almost certainly gonna have a problem to pose at you guys thursday/friday with regards to this model. Apart from the vert stabs/paint scheme/name issues I'm already having!  :lol:  I'll keep you in suspenders 'til then.  ;)
