F-15I Ra'am

[Scott Craig]

My next project, when I finish the F-105D and F-15C that I have on the bench will be an F-15I Ra'am (Thunder) of the Israeli Air Force. It will probably be spring before I get started on it, but I'm really looking forward to it. I've wanted to do one for a couple of years because I absolutely love the Color Scheme that is used on them.

I have the kit, it will be based on a 1/32 Tamiya F-15E and I have the decals. The decals are from IsraDecal Studios and if I counted correctly (I would be surprised if I did!) there are 878 decals. Yes, I said eight HUNDRED and seventy eight decals. The sheets are so complete, there are three sheets of decals and ten pages of decal instructions, that all of the panel ID stencils are included. I hate doing decals and this my be the set that turns me against them forever ;D

Thanks, Sean. I appreciate the offer but the decal set came with a bunch of them. I do tend to wreck decals on a regular basis so hang onto them because I might be needing them

John, you have the proportions right but the times wrong. I build slowly and it's a very highly detailed kit. Probably more like: Build time for the model 6 months, decal time a year!

I am really, REALLY wanting to start this one soooooooo bad but I'm doing my best to hold off. I've got to finish the F-105, after all the guy I'm building it for bought me the F-15E. I also have an F-15C on the bench that I need to finish, but it might get put behind this one!
