Thanks guys for the kind complements. A very fun project. I tried to duplicate the 71st fighter squadren from Langely AFB Va. They're called the IRONMEN. One of the few F-15 squadrens still active as they're being replaced by the F-22. Thanks again. Happy flying.

Surjer,
I made them from thin wall carbon fiber tubing. The nose is a small piece of pine dowel, and the fins are 1.5mm depron. The carrier is made from 1/4" & 3/16" balsa sheet. hAVE FUN.
