Revell 1:48 F-15 Strike Eagle

[Vinitine]

Greetings Everyone,
I have been working on this kit for a couple days now and thought i would post up some progress on it. Just basically getting my feet wet because I would like to start participating in some of the group builds coming up.
I am still pretty new to building kits well so feel free to add in any advice or pointers or point out mistakes i welcome any help as this is one of my practice kits.
I have been watching through a lot of technique threads on here as i am having trouble with good fitting on the cockpit.
Thanks for looking it over!


Not sure if you can see but a good size gap behind the cockpit

You might try some thin plasticard, if you have any. I typically save these things from the credit card companies when they send junk in the mail.
I, myself, am currently in the process of building two of these at the same time. One of the kits had the same type of gap and the other did not. For the one that did, I used Bondene styrene cement and clamped it together immediately and it closed the gap. After some light sanding and a little Deluxe Plastic Putty.

Thanks jelliot,
I will see what i have, i have some old parts kits so i should have something, left it banded overnight and it closed up a little more. I have putty so no worry there for me.
