Hey all,
I've finally decided on what I'm going to build for the Rumors of War Group Build. The Tamiya 1/32 scale F-15E Strike Eagle. I picked up the kit at the last show I went to for all of $40 still sealed in plastic. I'm going to do this strait out of the box, no PE or resin on this build as I really want to just have fun with the kit, not get bogged down. I took it out of the stash tonight and went through the parts and instructions and fiddled with the white metal landing gear. Yup, kit comes with white metal to start. The other really cool part about this kit, it comes with two pilot figures and you have the option of displaying them "in flight" with hands on the controls or the famous "salute" before take off. Not sure which one I'm going to go with but I'll be fun none the less.
Now here's the bad news. I'm not going to get to start for at least 3 weeks. Armorcon is coming up the 27th & 28th and I really want to finish my Humvee for that. So, keep the popcorn out of the microwave and the beverages in the fridge. I do look forward to joining y'all real soon.
