RAAF Mitsubishi F-15J Eagle

IIRC Australia looked at the F-15 as part of the procurement process which eventually ended up with us purchasing F/A-18s.  But what if we had bought them from Japan?
Add to that a WW2 commemorative scheme.

Kit's are both by Hasegawa; 1/72 Mitsubishi F-15J Eagle (1974 mould) and non scale F-15 Egg Plane.
Both built clean OOB.
Paint is Vallejo acrylic and decals are home made.
I ran out of the medium gunship grey I used on the Eagle and so used a different one on the Eggle which looks the same until you photograph them side by side.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Both are cool, but the matching eggplane is cute.  ;D

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

I was loving this lot from the start, the ending hasn't changed my opinion. Love 'em! :wub:

Either one would be eggsellent on their own, but both together they are EGGSEPTIONAL!  ;) ;D :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I wholeheartedly agree that they are both eggstremely good.............but do we really need a stream of eggscruciating puns?
