Re: I am Starscream, new leader of the Decepticons!
Thanks for the support, PredaKing admires all who post.
I nearly bought it last year. After reading the reviews and listening to people here, maybe a set of new watercolour paintbrushes was really worth it.SJPONeill wrote:...their Mirage III cockpit is a joke...BlohmWolf wrote: Academy lied about having a detailed cockpit.

As a fellow Transformer to model fan I don't like to be critical, however if you use the Academy F-15, I think the 1/100 scale, the wingtips and the airbrake are early/prototype shape. The wingtips need slanting inwards and back for a standard F-15.
However, watching with interest.

Hoping to return to modelling sometime this year!!

You do have a very good point. I may need to actually correct that entirely, because after doing some more research on TFW, the masterpiece Seekers have become extremely important in getting the best possible shape and make of the model at hand.
Here is the masterpiece, courtesy of Transformers Wiki:
And here is the smaller one, which I don't currently have in my possession now (brother took it with him)
It matches the dimensions of the kit extremely well. Even the panel lines appear to be the same width as well as the same mysterious sink marks. Hmmm....
It appears to the F-15C. So I can imagine I have a lot more scratchbuilding then I hoped for.
Now I just need to get some Null rays while I shape with balsa and foam the correct length and size of the parts willing.....

Re: I am Starscream, new leader of the Decepticons!
We both got as close as doing up the masking today, but the rest of the day was devoted to shopping for boring and non-modelling materials, so I kind of failed this GB entry.VickersVandal wrote:What's the happity-haps, BW? Did you and PK manage to finish it?
No matter, I will continue this thread in the Sci-fi section.

I am sorry to say this, but you are not giving enough recognition to Predaking! Who is he?
I wish, that I knew what was doing!
