1/48 Revell F-15E 'TigerMeet'

As we have read in the previous reviews, there are no major problems in this kit, for me the only point of discussion in the assembly of the wing, it's like you're building a NAVY plane !  I only improve slightly a bit the canopy.

For the paint I used a mix of REVELL n°378 and TESTOR 2055 (US NAVY blue gray) as the first coat, next I applied a lighter coat with the same mix, just with more Blue Gray in.

I weathered slightly the aircraft, with a light wash of black into the panel lines. Next, I applied a coat of Future and after drying time, applied  the decals.  Those are really easy to apply, the only difficulties are the big tiger stripes of each side, but it's just a question of time !  Then I applied a next coat of future, and finally a mix of matt and gloss coat from TESTOR.  Here is the result, this kit is the same quality as the RAFALE M, a very good kit - thanks, REVELL!
