geedubelyer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Wot ho me hearties...........! I hope everyone's well. It's been a while since I've posted anything on here so I thought I'd better bug you some more. You've been getting off too lightly....... I recognise some of you from other forums so to you guys, I apologise for boring the socks off you! This is another of those grey jets we all adore. I did n't bother you lot with the build 'cos it's not British but if you'd like to see how it went together, there's a thread here Anyhoo, without further ado, here are some piccies........

Deanflyer Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Now that IS impressive. Sometimes you see something which stands apart from the rest, and this is it. 1/32 scale certainly seems to produce the most realistic results, doesn't it? Coupled with excellent photography, it really is indistinguishable from the real thing - the metallic effect around the nozzles is superb. I don't know what the record is for the highest number of comments collected by a single post, but I think this might break it! My compliments, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desmojen Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That'll be the build thread I have bookmarked for when I do mine! I can't think of any big words, but suffice to say that I genuinely think that is the best model I have ever seen Jen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ditto above comments. Fantastic builds, and sticking pilots in this one, that takes courage. But you've pulled it off with finesse. I've put a special gold star aside just for you. But, what next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Very nice. I thought this was a real one. A fantastic job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I can't think of any big words, but suffice to say that I genuinely think that is the best model I have ever seen Jen said it all. I really am struggling to think if I've ever seen a better model so well presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InFlames Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 wow fabolous Mudhen and even better photography... some pics are really hard to distinguish from being real... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgl007 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Holy shnikees!!!! That is by far the most realistic model of an F-15E I have ever seen - BAR NONE! Stunning job! -Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 (edited) WHOA!!!!! I thought the first pic was one of those "this is a photo of the subject I chose to do", took me several looks to realise it was actually your model! I've seen some very talented modellers produce very convincing "fakes" using models and photography - of WW2 subjects, with pics in black and white, then fuzzed up, de-focused etc to produce convincing pictures. But I have NEVER EVER seen anyone do it so utterly convincingly in COLOUR!! If I didn't know otherwise, I would not have been able to tell that about half these photos were actually of a model. OK, I'm all out of praise now, apart from this EDIT: Oh, and in future, don't be so shy about posting it over here!
