Azure's F-15E Strike Eagle model, progress to soon be made.

Post by Azure Edge »

The aircraft model I ordered has finally dropped in my mailbox, and since this is a first model, and it's gonna be time consuming, I figured I might as well track my progress somewhere with it. So progress shall soon be made!

Day One:

Model arrived, I unboxed it, and holy smokin' jesus titties cinnamon the box is bigger than I expected. I think it's 16" X 11" X 4" or so. Any of ya'll who are wondering, this design is actually from the combat flight simulation game, Ace Combat 6. Bandai Namco released a set of custom paintjobs for some ingame planes with themes from their popular talent simulation game, The iDOLM@STER. This particular character's name is Chihaya Kisaragi (and I swear, she is the same age as me as of this writing).

After unboxing the package, I proceeded to take everything out and look for myself. Thing contains at least 5 sheets of parts for the main body, and 2 sheets of decals. Instructions are multilingual (for the most part), and most of the instructions are easy to read diagrams.

Whenever I go to the hobby shop for tools, progress shall be made!~

Card reader started working again!

Azure, get some nippers, a hobby knife, and some paint. If you spraypaint the trees before building, the model will look pretty good, but if you paint each individually after sanding the pieces, they'll look even better.

I'm glad I waited till I heard about this, now time to get out my never before opened or used air spray kit.

eh I'm not sure about if I'm gonna use spray paint since I never saw it as being precise. And do instruction packets usually tell you what color paint to use and where to use it? I don't see it anywhere. I'm possibly going to broadcast at www.justin.tv/sakuramaxx at occasional times while building it, listening to music, playing guitar, and such too.

Oh and Azure, it may be a stupid thing to say but, I wouldn't try doing the model on carpet or wood, if you have a Sun room it'd be best if you did it there or in a garage, because the paint could spill or an accident with the cement glue. I'm just trying to help you out.

Haha I'm using my PC desk lined with papers everywhere. It's all I have to use. I'll probably manage to be extra careful.

Yes, your aircraft is coming to be true.

I made a model some years ago (a Porsche 911). Some hours later finish it i suffered an alergic reaction. YES, i´m allergic to the glue used in model kits (i had to throw an incomplete Apache helicopter :( ).
