Default F-15 Eagle thread...

Hi Guys,

As many of you know that i am currently in process of building half kit that gotfrom another RC fellow of Topgun F15 Ultra Eagle II.
When i got the kit all i got was one piece fiberglass fuselage and sport wing cores, now i have few more items but still far from completion, i have done work to fuselage mainly so far and pics below will show what i have done so far. I like to get all advices and help for all in DF jet world...

First thing i did when i started to work on this fuselage was to sand off main fuselage joint seam in the middle wrapped around whole fuselage, i used grit 80 for initial sanding and then grit 220 for finer sanding as seam thinned down to surface of fuselage, after this was done i went to exhaust nozzels were i could see lots of small chipes/cracks, i started to sand the glecoat there since it was bit shiney then i wanted for the glue to adhere, then i used med CA with accelator to build up on chipped apots and cracks, as all dried i sanded the build up to its shape with grit 220 and smoothed with fine 400 paper. I tokk few hrs on and off but results came out good and strong, actually i went through whole fuse and filled what i could by using this process except for the light step on top aft fuse, i will do that this glazing spot putty once i get it.

Couple days ago i got my engine, Byron fan and tune pipe with starter wond, as soon as i got it i strted to asseble fan shroud with engine carrage/mount and fan on the engine, i then placed whole assembly in the fuselage dry just see how it looks, pics will show you more thati did to model so far...
