F-15 Blue Angel

[Eddie M.]

Here's my entry in the 1 week GB. I've been waiting to do this for a long time and it was exceptionally satisfying to complete.

NOOOOOO!!!! lol a tomcat would be ok, but no Hornet, or will be forced to build a SA-6 to counter it

Eddie, this is another really nice build! It is so natural looking it's got that should have been feel. Another very clean build  


I could have sworn I already posted to this thread but I've been sick most of the week and been kind of out of it  :ill:

Heh, just the thing to put with the official model Grumman did of a F-14 in Thunderbirds markings.  Hmm, I'm getting a set of 1/48 decals for Thunderbirds F-105s (actually designed, I'm told, for the Monogram F-105D but I've the Falcon conversion for a F-105B and might do the proper version).  I'll have to see how they fit up on a F-14 and consider buying another set.  Perhaps, just to round things out I should do a Thunderbirds F-15, too?  I reckon they'd look good on the ramp together.

BTW, Eddie, let me say that's a fantastically beautiful build and you're really, really tempting me to do a F-15M in Blue Angels markings.

out of curiosity , I think McDD studied naval F-15s . Does anyone know a source I can check ? F-14 had a straight wing variant , the Flanker looks good in Russian service , could the Eagle hack it afloat ?

[elmayerle]

With some mods, AnthonyP and I have compiled ideas for fixed wing (F-15M) and v-g wing (F-15N) navalized variants.  He's built his, mine are still, so far, in the very early stages (real life does tend to interfere).  There was indeed a navalized F-15 proposed at one point when the F-14 was having some real problems, not the least of which was cost, but the Navy stuck with the F-14.

I'd ahve to check which editions had it, but at least a couple of the Aerofax F-15 books had a three-view of the proposed navalized F-15.

You can get it too if you can get your hands on a can of Testors High Gloss enamel overcoat #1814. Thanks for the compliments Gents! B)

I meant to ask, Eddie, what kit or decal set did the markings come from?
