F-15E 1/72

As promised here are a few pics of the model I finished a couple of days ago. It has been sitting in my stash for about twenty years. I only built a couple of models way back in my teens but they they all ended up as scrap. This F-15 was the last one remaining unbuilt, in fact it's an Esci kit, so I decided to build it and experiment on it.
I have never done any preshading before or applied washes, weathering etc.. So i grabbed the opportunity to have a go at all this on the F-15 with the idea that I'll probably end up ruining it, but I was ready to take the plunge. Airbrushing is also quite new to me but compared to the paintbrush it's definitely a great leap forward.
Anyway here they are:

Very nice job Daniel , Keep up the good work mate

Ah, the trusty Eagle! I love this plane! When I was younger I had a big poster of this bird doing a vertical climb through the clouds.

Beautiful work there!

Daniel is this the same model Erika started to build, back in the 90's...

Prosit Daniel. But you should come to the club and bring it with you one day

Good work Daniel, nice eagle.

Thanks to all for the encouraging comments.

@Marco- True Marco you do have quite a good memory, but no it's not the same one. That was an F-15B.

@Joseph- Next is a 1/48 Hasegawa, F-104G. I have already started working on it and the cockpit is nearing completion although progress is slow. I will post a couple of pics of the cockpit later on.
