Model Build: F-15E Strike Eagle

One of my favorite US fighter planes has to be the F-15 and the F-15E Strike Eagle in particular. I have built a couple of F-15C's which have not turned out that good, but am now half-way through my first 1:72 scale Hobby Boss F-15E Strike Eagle. Not a particularly detailed kit in many ways but it's been a pleasure for a staring out modeler to build, and I am happy with the results so far, so ... no complaints.

As usual I have assembled a number of videos on the topic of building F-15E Strike Eagle models. Academy 's 1:48 scale seems to be the overwhelming favorite out there but Revell supposedly has a pretty nice offering in the 1:48 scale arena as well (Revell 1:48 Kit Reviews).

Model Build: F/A-18 Super Hornet

I just added a Revell  1:48 scale, F/A-18 Super Hornet to my "stash". As I have been building and focusing exclusively  in 1:72 scale this will something of a leap for me. Upon initial glance I am excited about the level of detail although I have no idea what I will do with a model this size when complete. Part of the thrill of this hobby I suppose!

As with most of my models I started collecting video tutorials on F-18 builds. Looks like a pretty popular aircraft to model, however it also sounds like the Revell version is going to be something of a challenge. As I am just a Noob in this hobby that does not bode well for me! LOL ... I  guess you can't get better without working through being bad first. :) Besides I got for 40% off at the craft store so for $13 USD I figure it's still a pretty good deal.

This Model Build: F/A Super Hornet playlist includes 18 video, from 7 channels and span 3 - 3.5 hours when watched straight through. I wanted to issue a special call out to Doog's Models for his particularly informative multi-part build, something I have come to expect from Matt's videos. Thanks!
