Finally, without any further delay, both of the F-15E's are completed. These were done mainly OOB, the only additional items used on one of the builds were Two Bobs Decals and Hasagawa's Weapons Set D. Sorry for this being a little pic heavy!
The first aircraft was done as a representative of the 389th FS, Thunderbolts:
The second aircraft is a representation of the 391st FS, Bold Tigers:

Outstanding!

Now they are two superb renditions of a great looking aircraft.
The fit and finish is stunning – I love that satin sheen coming through on the pictures. You’ve also done a blinding job of the metal areas around the engines with the heat staining – cracking job!
Cheers

Thanks for all of the wonderful comments! They took a lot longer than I had hoped, but I am extremely happy with how they turned out.

I don't know how I missed this pair of birds when you posted them? VERY nicely done!
