F-15E Scale Model

Nord · 04-18-2007, 18:41 PM

This is a project I started tonight...

It`s a F-15 from Hasegawa 1:48

The seatbelt I`ve made from leftover photoets..

It`s an incredible small thing...-[X(]

It is still in the works...

Very nice start Nord,I admire your patience

Nord · 04-19-2007, 03:22 AM

It`s so small that you can`t see errors with your naked eye... But with this 100mm 1:2.8 macro...you can..[:D]

The scale shows mm. The numbers shows cm.

A little update... Some repainting and so..

Merry Christmas to you all! And a happy new year!

Today I finished up this long runner.. It is the longest time ever to finish up a model, I started this one 19 Apr 07...

Then I moved to a new house in June, and no building after that...[

But here it is! The second aircraft in my career...[

Well done, Nord. Another splendid model.

The photographs do justice to your work.

hmmm... Aril is when I slowed down on my wooden BF-109, got to get re-started again

Excellent - as usual Nord!!!

Nord · 01-06-2008, 05:26 AM

Thanks, and finish the bf-109 soon!

Nord · 03-01-2008, 09:40 AM

Where is that 109?

texasjohn · 03-01-2008, 10:58 AM

Believe it not not, I worked on the wings last night! Getting the dihedral and wing angle is tough, given you have to cut and shape your own wooden parts. I am hoping to show a few progress pics by the end of the weekend.

My first scratchbuild -OMG!

Maybe I should stick to kits after this one. At lease I won't have to trace and make my own parts!!

Excellent F-15 there buddy!

Nord · 03-02-2008, 18:34 PM

I´m looking forward to your pics John!

You guys that have the patience and steady fingers for such minute detail really embarrass me. Next thing you know you guys will be building scale WORKING models of the engines too.

Hehe..

I`ve started on another F-15.. This time a F15D..
