I had to go with the MiG. Nord went into extraordinary detail on his F-15 but John's paint scheme with the proper over-spray was absolutely striking.

Well, to me anyway. And that was WITHOUT an air brush? Fantastic.

Good jobs for both of you.

The thing is that it´s not a F-15E, it`s a F-15D

I should have posted them both....


The F-15E:

All the models are fantastic...great detail. I think Nord has just pipped it with the extra detail.

Well done, gentlemen!
Both are excellent, but I have to go with TJ on this occasion as he didn't have the benefit of an airbrush. Stupendous detailing from Nord, as usual.

I am rather torn. The painting on Texasjohn's is very pretty and I think it makes it look rather cool. On the other hand, the tiny details on Nord's adds quite a bit to it as well.

I voted for TJ - I like his Midwest/Southern soul - the model isn't bad either.

No. He borrowed that shrinking down machine from Fantastic Voyage (the one with Raquel Welch swimming around some guy's blood stream) and miniaturized a real F-15.

All he needs to do now is find a pilot small enough and we will have the perfect stealth fighters than can even fly inside the command bunkers.
