Just a (hopefully)  quick build that has been in the cards for a while. My take on a navalized F-15, I extended the wings so that the outboard pylons would be inboard of the wing-fold.


Just as wide as a super hornet, but slightly longer:

Some in flight shots before I attach the gear and fold the wings:




This is the EW Growler version. Features extra doo-dads in the tail and extra EW avionics are carried in the front half of the CFTs like one of the original concepts for the original f-15s

This painting is so complicated/great it deserves a gold medal for the painter (scale 1 or even more: reduced scale)... :-*

The F2 is brill, but the EF 15 Growling Eagle is just the tops, what an idea and why oh why was it not the replacement for the EF111!!!
If I don't plan it, it can't go wrong!

If it's great, I did it. If it's naff, I found it.

Impressive creative jets in design and finish.  Like them all. :)

Finished and on deck:



I gave it a Tornado style refueling probe, but as I was painting it I thought I should have gone with a Hornet style probe, bit too late to change anything though.

Beautiful!!  With your permission, I'd like to adapt this scheme for a 1/72 navalized F-15 model.

I'd probably have(will, on mine) put the refueling probe on the other side where I could plumb it in to the existing plumbing for the boom receptacle, but that's just me.

Sure, here's the recipe if you need it: Tamiya paints XF-8 Flat Blue, XF-23 Light Blue, XF-66 Light Grey and white.

I put the probe on the right for personal reasons, as I am right side dominant, if(HUGE if) I were in the cockpit I would want the probe on the right side.
