    1/72 Oregon ANG F-15C Eagle "75th Anniversary"

    To celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Oregon Air National Guard, the 173rd Fighter Wing, based at Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon, has given an F-15C a special color scheme.


    Let's do this.


    Nothing more, nothing less, still that awesome unbeatable fighter jet - the F-15, going to make it into 75th anniversary painted F-15 jet of 173rd Fighter Wing, Kingsley Field from Klamath Falls.


    For the Eagle painting I will use the decals produced by Fishbone Inc. and for those stencil decals, I'll just apply the stock decals given by HobbyBoss. The Eagle decals are not fully 100% replicated since not much photo references I can find on the internet but I believe it's already almost 80%.


    OH WELL ACTUALLY, the ORANG75 decals set are still under testing and experiment, so trials and errors can't be avoided.  








    I'll skip all those unbox process and get into the subject this time:



    Canopy masking done:








    Primed:





    Sunin7 Stainless Steel MIRROR, on exhaust section:





    F-15C Oregon ANG camo masking, for future reference of course.








    Start spraying:





    Gunze #337, #72 and #308





    Masking still a killing job.





    Gunze #317 and #305 applied, but I feel something doesn't right here:





    The BLUE is too blue, the GREY is too dark....

                Hi guys, a little updates:


                Spine, masking and spraying and it's done:





                Fixing landing gears:





                Formation lights!





                Nothing much, just a clean fighter jet setting this time, with minor weathering. Flat-coated and it's time for weaponry!














                Pylons, missiles, bombs, undercarriage, going to end it soon!! Mk 82 x 12 (6 on each side), AIM-9x x 1 (That's what I left), AIM-120 AMRAAM x & Mk-4 HIPEG gun pod x 1.

                    Hello.  What colors did you use to paint the spine of the aircraft to match the wing decals?  I have the 1/32 set of these decals and am getting ready to build the plane, but I can't seem to find an appropriate match for the color.  Thank you!!

                      Beautifully done Kitti.  Are your decals screen-printed?

                          Awesome Kitti. Sorry, I may be missing something here but is that the Academy F-15C?


                          Edit: Sorry, immediately after pressing reply saw the Hobbyboss reference at the start of the thread.
