Boeing F-15 Eagle

Hasagawa 1:48 Scale

	I first picked up this kit because of the Eglin Decals that came with it. Thought it would be fun to model a aircraft from a near by base.
			Then I saw these decals and decided that this is what I wanted to do with this model. The decals were hard to get as they had just gone out of production.
						Again you start in the cockpit. Again Hasagawa turns out a good injection cockpit for their kit.
					Again Hasagawa has put out a kit that practically falls together quite nicely. As you can see by the 18" ruler that this is no small kit.
				The only snag I hit was the cockpit canopy. It had a seam running down the middle of it. (I have run into the same problem on other large Hasagawa kits) A little sanding and future floor wax later I had a good canopy.
				The model now has it's base coat on and ready for the camo next
					While waiting for better weather to paint in (I paint my models in the garage and it has been to cold) I worked on the missiles for this model. I also picked up some decals for the missiles. An investment well worth it in the large scales.
