Great work - this dio looks highly realistic. Pose it right outside at "magic hour" and it would looke real.

This is a wonderfully made and very realistically looking diorama, Anthony!
The many labor hours you put into it are evident: a diorama full of activity, with a lot of great details.
I had the pleasure to follow along your build.
Congratulations!

I've been looking forward to seeing the finished diorama, and what a treat it is, all the details really show off the F-15 beautifully, definitely liked.
Anthony Alvear said on May 27, 2021
Thank you very much George ... also agree with the result.

I agree with the above comments, however your canopy does not fit properly! You should fix the problem by attaching it in its' "OPEN" position. I had this problem 30 years ago, so I placed all of my prop and jet canopies in their open position.
I built models for clients from 1977 until 2016 and learned a great deal about model building by becoming a local, regional and IPMS/USA judge. RJW: [email protected].

Thanks for your comments Rodney, but I will not correct anything, I like how is and I think meets my expectations from the work done.

This an excellent dio/build, great job!The caption of the two mechanics at the nose landing gear could be.. " But I thought you tightened that hydraulic line." If you ever do a 1/48th Phantom I can tell you where to put the hydraulic leaks.
Anthony Alvear said on May 28, 2021
Thank you, to tell the truth, seems like the best place for that hydraulic line, I don't know it's okay, but I liked how turned out. Regards.

Slick looking F-15E and a great diorama. All those moths of work really paid off handsomely in the end. Are these guys going off SCUD hunting in the Gulf War?
Anthony Alvear said on May 28, 2021
thanks for your words ... and the answer to your question, I don't know hahaha
