Hi everyone, I started a new build: Academy's 1/48 F-15I Ra'am.
This kit seems to be of a superior quality than the two other Academy kits that I've (sort of) built. The plastic is harder (yet not brittle), the fit is -generally speaking- good, the detail is crisp and the decals are printed by Cartograf.
I started with the fuselage. This kit requires some sawing (a first for me), which I did with some apprehension.
As I said, the fit is mostly OK, but some filling and sanding will still be needed.
I don't want to jinx it, but hopefully this build will move a little faster than my previous, incomplete one.
Thanks for looking.
