    Default Official Mac Donnell Douglas F-15 Eagle Painting Thread

    Hi,

    Here's my contribution for one of the most beautiful modern plane ever built.

    JASDF F-15J 50th Anniversary of JASDF 305th TFS Hyakuri Air Base
    Model from AIM, painting and decals by the author.

    Enjoy.

    Yeah. Thanks for looking.

    Without even a vague model for movement cards at these speeds, and what weapons would do with jets like this, it isn't something I want to wrap my brain around either. Don't blame you at all for dodging this bullet.

    Seriously, the way modern jets fight, it's not really dogfighting as much as jockeying for the best missile launch window.
    Yes, they have a cannon (not making that late 50s, early 60s mistake again), but it's rather long-ranged maneuvering now.

    Thanks a lot.

    To Teaticket, I'm thinking of using the rules of Flight Leader boardgame on a map with hexagones sized like in Heroika boardgame.
