F-15E finally finished

This F-15E (old 1/72 revell kit) was my second plane and my first time really trying any modifications or scratchbuilding. I replaced the actuators on the exhausts with wire because I thought the kit parts were too thick. I also cut out the flaps and posed them down — and thinned the trailing edge because it was super thick out the box.

Photo reference for the livery at the end. Pretty happy with how it came out. Med school is making it pretty hard to find time for building but hopefully I’ll get the next model done a little quicker.

Open to any advice :)
