PSS HET F15 - paint, decals, panel lines etc.

The Eagle continues apace, with the addition of some decals that really "pop" against the camo background :

I then painted up the exhaust nozzles that I'd 3D printed so long ago, and stuck them on to the rear of the aircraft with thickened 5 minute epoxy :

I then spent far too much time adding panel lines, and a tiny bit of weathering :

And with that, the airframe was ready for my current favourite finish - Halford's "satin clear lacquer" :

I just need to finish off the cockpit glass work, balance her, then she's ready for the hill!

PSS HET F15 - progress into paint

The little HET F15 has come along nicely, and with about a day's worth of masking then spraying, the camo part of the paint is done.  She represents a Japanese F15JD:

All the control systems and servos are already in, so it's down to the final furlong now - panel lines, decals, lacquer, attaching exhausts, radio setup, balancing etc.  Only a couple of weeks left and she'll be good to go.
