To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Oregon Air National Guard, the 173rd Fighter Wing, based at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon, has given an F-15C a special color scheme.


Let's do this.


Nothing more, nothing less, still that awesome unbeatable fighter jet - the F-15, going to make it into 75th anniversary painted F-15 jet of 173rd Fighter Wing, Kingsley Field from Klamath Falls.


For the Eagle painting I will use the decals produced by Fishbone Inc. and for those stencil decals, I'll just apply the stock decals given by HobbyBoss. The Eagle decals are not fully 100% replicated since not much photo references I can find on the internet but I believe it's already almost 80%.


OH WELL ACTUALLY, the ORANG75 decals set are still under testing and experiment, so trials and errors can't be avoided.

Masking still a killing job.

Gunze #317 and #305 applied, but I feel something doesn't right here:

The BLUE is too blue, the GREY is too dark....

Nothing much, just a clean fighter jet setting this time, with minor weathering. Flat-coated and it's time for weaponry!

Hello.  What colors did you use to paint the spine of the aircraft to match the wing decals?  I have the 1/32 set of these decals and am getting ready to build the plane, but I can't seem to find an appropriate match for the color.  Thank you!!

Awesome Kitti. Sorry, I may be missing something here but is that the Academy F-15C?


Edit: Sorry, immediately after pressing reply saw the Hobbyboss reference at the start of the thread.
