F-15A (Late) - 5th FIS
Yesterday and today, I managed to grab a couple of hours at the bench and the F-15 is just about finished. The gear, gear doors, drop-tank and exhausts are all in place and it looks pretty good. Still need to put those low-light strips on and the actuators for the exhaust petals - all 30 of them :gogo
With luck and a following wind, I'll get it finished by this time tomorrow.
AFN.

Thanks for sticking with me on this long & drawn-out project. Definitely not one from the 'top drawer' but looks quite imposing in the cabinet (as long as you don't look too closely). Also my thanks taking the time to look and/or comment, and as ever all criticism, comments and questions are welcome.

Very nice Ian . A lot of tedious work 
and I enjoyed the earlier F-15 paints as they did not contrast as much as the present one . Quite subtle .

Nice work Ian. All the little stenciling was worth it in the end. It looks awesome!
