Time for a 1/48 F-15B Air Superiorty Blue jet. Ive always liked the F-15 but the best scheme has always been the Air Superiorty Blue. Ill be using the 1986 Hasegawa kit for the build and Carcal decals . Tonght i started cleaning up some parts .

Nice project Brian, I'm also making a Hasegawa F-15E, but it really has to be a B like yours.
Unfortunately to make it an E there are many changes to be made but for a B fortunately no.
Just pay attention to the union between wings and fuselage, which creates a line that does not exist on the aircraft, it is on the model it must be tuned well. In fact, other manufacturers of F-15 models make the wing surfaces in one piece.

Good work

Just finished up my last prop project of year so back to Eagle finally. The weekest part of this kit is the now to reasr section. There is no block for alignment. So i used a thin plastic stried and glued it along the curve of the lower rear section. Test fitted the nose and great fit and no step issuses . Got the rest of the cockpit parts cleaned up . Got my early sytly ejection seats in the mail from Reskit cleaned them up and test fitted. Cockpit now readdy for paint .
