What a beauty! The weathering, staining effects turned out wonderful in the final reveal. The plane looks like it lived a long life sitting out in the sun and being flown hard.
It's a simple thing, but I really appreciate how you go about modeling. Wearing gloves, using the right tool for the job for cutting and scribing. It really a great demonstration to young modelers on how to model safe and produce great results.
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 1 October, 2024) Watching you build this lustrously detailed kit is pure joy! Well, almost: keen pangs of deep disappointment that I cannot participate . . . . Well, thank you for what delight I can have. I so fervently admire you for your talents here. As I watch your build, I wish a more experienced modeller would demonstrate for the rest of us how to assemble and detail aircraft kits in flight, the propeller (for those with them) spinning, the undercarriage retracted, a pilot in the seat, the flight controls re-positioned, the instrument panel dials indicating his sharp manœuvres at high altitude, etc. . . . Both your ailerons (at the far end of each wing, on the trailing edge) are set to the negative, which is erroneous. They are how the pilot banks the aircraft, one always elevated, the other always declined.
I was stationed at Lakenheath for 6 yrs. Worked on these very jets, in the 493rd FS. Outstanding detail, and the oil/dirt/grime really made it come to life. Great work!
Was there a huge Irish guy(civilian security) on the gate doing vehicle searches when you were there? I did some work on lakenheath for a few weeks, this Irish guy was enormous, easily 6’10 if not more, one time I was sat waiting for my turn to be searched, he comes strutting over, wanders past the air force dog handler with M4 & Belgian Malinois in either hand, (not sure which one was more scary), then decides to put his hand out to stroke the said Malinois…a tenth of a second later you’ve never heard a bigger guy scream so much, shredded coat sleeve and blood everywhere with the Malinois snarling and yanking it’s head side to side ripping his skin off….soldier virtually whispered something and the dog was at ease again, albeit with a full belly 😂, Irish guy goes off to get medical treatment while the 20 odd people also waiting to be searched were rolling around laughing. My best memory at lakenheath was every Friday the f15 pilot who’d done best that week got to do a vertical take off where they immediately go vertical as soon as the wheels leave the ground, the noise was ridiculous and the whole base shook like an earthquake
@@PerisModels You are more than welcome. I've learned so much from you. My first model looked like Homer Simpson's spice rack. Now they're not bad at all. Another 50 years and they'll be half as good as yours!
Beautifully finished and weathered model.....such an awesome bird in such a big scale. You must be very happy with the outcome so thanks for sharing your talents with us.
@@PerisModels People buy these pre-built? Putting them together is half the fun, right!? 😂 I just got my first model built, a 1/48 F16. Such a blast seeing it all come together. Great build + video from you as usual!
I saw this perticular bird (LN 156) two years ago in the Mach Loop. Awesome spot to watch fighter jets close up. And your work on this bird is as usual extraordinary, Peri!
Looks A-mazing. What a great Eagle. I've been to Lakenheath and it's a good place to plane spot. This is great though; superb build and an fantastic finish (as usual!). Great stuff.
A little bit about this particular aircraft, 86-156: "During one of the Close Air Support mission above/near the former Yugoslavia Col. Cesar Rico Rodriguez shot down a Serbian MiG-29. On March 24 1999 he downed the Fulcrum when flying aircraft 86-169/LN, using an AIM120 AMRAAM. On the same day the Squadron shot down another MiG-29 with aircraft 86-159/LN, using three AIM120's. Two days later, on March the 26th, aircraft 86-156/LN shot down two more MiG-29's in the afternoon, using two AMRAAM's as well. Within 72 hours the 493rd killed four Fulcrums!"
@Peri's Models Hi, What are the MRP paints you used on this, as on the video you have listed the same colours for both bits of paint work ? Regards Ryan
Crazy detail, it gives impression of standing few feet away from the real jet. Where did You get the CATM-120C, if I'm not mistaken this kit contains Sparrows. Best regards,
Stunning kit. Great result. I see both control flaps (roll) are hanging down.......... Is this correct? Should one of them not point up.........?? That would be logical, to me.
@@PerisModels There could be a technical reason for it. If anyone knows, please tell us. But the control flaps for roll (ailerons) always work in opposite directions, otherwise the airplane could never roll...! ;-)
This brought out the detective in me! I did find a couple of youtube vids of eagles being started up from which I deduce that the ailerons do both droop down before the engine is started and presumably hydraulic power becomes available. Just call me Sherlock....
Man this is an amazing build, I have always wanted to try to build this kit, but my skills aren't what yours are. How long did this take you? Great work!
Curious. Whicih dark and med grey did you use? the captions look like its the same grey pre mask as post mask but the colors are different. Thanks in advance.
Please tell me, what pressure and needle for the Black primer do you used. My first airbrush Modell is the xb70 valkyrie. A huge one all over white. Thanks
Yes, ok. I've got 0,5 as the biggest, so I wanna use that one. The pressure in combination with color is the other thing. I think about thinner and paint with 1:1 (tamiya). Pressure will be tested until the result is OK for me. I'm excited ;-)
I have this kit in stand-by w wolfpack msip2 resin kit. 2 info: 1) the Aires kit is complete for msip2 standard ( cockpit and esterna antenna & sub missile launch)? 2) aim 120 & aim 9x are Eduard resin kit or? Ps good job!
Great build as always! Question fit you when using Tamiya panel line wash, so you let it dry then wipe it off or wipe it before its dry? Are you using anything to help wipe it off like water or alcohol? Thanks!
I’m confused, I only ever saw one pair of hands in this whole video but the subtitles kept saying “we did this” “we did that”…did you have someone helping you in between filming ?
@@PerisModels well there are a lot of interesting ones, if you're going to paint/ modify then hg or mg are probably the best solution. As for the model go for what you like more my choise would be a jesta but maybe knowing you do planes usually you could try a transformable one
I know I'm a couple of weeks late to the party, but I found this video yesterday. It's an in depth tour and breakdown of the cockpit of an F-15C given by a former eagle driver. It's probably the best walk - around I've ever seen. Hopefully someone can use it on their next build: th-cam.com/video/zikI2fazPLo/w-d-xo.html
David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Tuesday, 1 October, 2024) Are you saying the actual F-15C has “rivets”, but Tamiya failed to include them? Ot that they put “rivets” where none exist on the actual fighter? It is an older kit of an older production of the real F-15 (an early -C variant), which manufacturing process used spot welding (many mistake these as ”rivets”, which aircraft makers have not used on exterior surfaces e.g., the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang USAAF fighter, the Chance Vought F4U Corsair USN/USMC Fighter, and other later Second World War combat aircraft). Tamiya evidently copied this. Now kit designers scan an object with fine lasers in all three geometric dimensions for precision measurements down to round 10 microns. (I am no expert; I am an avid reader on certain topics, a word nerd-I am NOT a maths whiz, or a techie!-an aspiring novelist, essayist, classical vocalist, illustrator, graphics artist, model kit builder, etc.)
My dad flew F-15s for the Grim Reapers in Lakenheath for a couple years. Awesome squadron. They have one of the best squadron bars I’ve ever seen.
that instruction book is BEAUTIFUL

Fantastic build sir, inspires me to complete my F15
The resin dust and white glue to replicate the sheepskin is an outstanding solution. Awesome tip my friend :)
Cheers buddy 🤗🤗🤗
That is an awesome idea I am going to have to do to my 1/48 jets too and my 1/32 when I get another Strike Eagle to build
Well done. I've been away from modeling for so long and your video just may have lit a fuse. It must be one huge beautiful model.
Thank you
This model looks awesome!! The detail is just amazing especially in the cockpit, cool build well done 👍🏻
Thank you
You could actually leave the wings off when painting the fuselage and attach them after final assembly. It makes handling this monster so much easier.
You will need to fill the seam between the fuselage and wing tho
@P
PerisModels oh it didn't look like there was a seam. Good to know when I start mine.
Such an awesome kit. Such an awesome bird. You did that plane justice.
