Subject: 1/48 JASDF F-15J 2003 Senkyo Hakuryu
Kit: Tamiya's 1/48 F-15J
Decals: Platz's 1/48 JASDF F-15J 2003 "Senkyo Hakuryu"
Started this build on New Year's eve. Fast build but not without issue, despite the kit is Tamiya's. Firstly, the exhaust came with turkey feather; the subject matter don't have this feature.
Plus, the kit's exhaust 'burner can' is too shallow. During mating the fuselage, the front end don't mate properly no matter how much I tried to adjust them.
As of tonight, here's how much progress I've made.
Exhaust are from Hasegawa's F-15; burner cans are swiped from Wolfpack Design Ra'am conversion set..
Test fit the modified exhaust.
