1/48 Academy F-15N

This is the Academy F-15E kit built as a US Navy F-15N.  I wanted to practice a new display technique and so I used this kit as a test bed.  I wanted the F-15 to appear as if it were doing a pass at an airshow.  The pilot figures are posed in a manner to reflect this.

The kit was built OOB with the exception of the decals and pilot figures.  The VF-101 decals were from Superscale and the pilot figures were spares from the Fujimi F-14 kit.  I chose VF-101 markings because of the shark mouth, and I've always liked the swooping pose of the grim reaper.

Enjoy the photos.
