The Adversary.


Another joint project featuring F-15K Slam Eagle and MiG-29 Fulcrum. This F-15K will be modded from Academy F-15E Strike Eagle (Item code: AM12478) since the K variant was a derivative of the F-15E.


The MiG-29 is from Tamiya, it's an Italeri tooling imported into Japan by Tamiya and reboxed for the Japanese market. It has recessed panel lines, adequate detail for the scale & a full missile load.


The plan is to replicate the dogfight scene between ROKAF F-15K 004 and KPAF MiG-29 in the R2B: Return to Base movie.


I'll use my own decals for this project - ROKAF logo, 02-004 tail code, 11th Fighter Wing (11전투비행단) emblem and Jaguar emblem, F-15K emblem, Rogue skeleton, KPAF logo & aircraft number 504. Yea it's the power of customized decals - do anything you wants.

Simultaneously making two aircrafts are quite exhausted but fun!

Two kind of intake of F-15K.

Really big size although it's only 1/72 scaled down.

F-15K Slam Eagle. Glued those pylons and tailplanes.

F-15K, the attachments will be:


12 x Rockeye, 1 x AN/AAQ-13 LANTIRN pod, 1 x Navigation pod, 3 x AIM-7 Sparrow, 4 x AIM-9 Sidewinder and 2 x Conformal fuel tank

F-15K, all the parts, ready to bath in soap water to wash away those dust, oil from my skin and residues left over from the moulding process.

MiG-29, the OVT Thrust Vectoring Nozzle, looks legit here.


upload_2016-4-20_13-38-40.png



However, details on the other side looks very perfunctory.

MiG-29, not much parts for this Tamiya reboxed Italeri kit.

Almost done all decal application. ROKAF batch, 11th TFW batch, F-15K Slam Eagle Batch and tail code are printed and produce by me. I use Academy stock decals for those warning and no step.

Hello, Academy F-15E sucks in fitting especially the nose area, get Hasegawa please, they're better.
