She looks so damn sexy!

If you guys have any photo requests, just ask!

Regards, Diego
 
Can we have a Mad Hatters one please, with the actual symbol on too? Thats how I rememeber these!:salute: Awesome paint jobs though, but the panel lines are far too much on the 48FW version, it doesn't rain oil in England you know! lol!
 
I can make the request for the Mad Hatters paint, but no promises. Our painter is working on some other liveries at the moment.

As for the LN bird, that's not oil, it's Marmite! ;)

Best regards, Diego
 
Hahaha "well you either love it or hate it" anyway when are we going flying again?

Maybe when we've both got this we can go head to head in a Tornado GR4 v F15E formation/RACE? lol
 
Yeah yours is 2001 and the one I had was 2008. Never mind, just trying to help you out. Yeah now they have a bigger bird stencil on the vert for higher visibility.

Have fun then.

When painting an aircraft, I collect as many photos as I can get of all part of it. I noticed that the IAF 267 appeared with different paint at the vert. stab. In such cases I will often use the «most interesting» combination for the livery. So, even if the eagle describes an older paint, I will prefer to choose this one. :salute:

This is a very detailed model with a lot of features. The Milviz Team is working very hard to get this bird as real as possible within the limitations of FSX. No release date yet, but the team definitely makes progress.
 
Looks awsome. I would have to say, though, that the panel dirt is too much, especially on the Lakenheath aircraft.
 
We all know this. Everyone says it. BUT, I have pics of F-15E's on active duty that are even dirtier. Just do some checking on the net. You will find them...

Roger. No need to comment on the grey tone used on same aircraft either I guess.
 
I have seen them just that dirty. There are many many variations in paint. Aircraft get repainted out of depot refurb and they look beautiful. They go on a deployment and stand outside in the sand for about three to six months and they get rather grimy.

Also, paint specs change over the years, so a given tail number will have a particular shade one year and then come out of depot with another shade.

As Gunnar has said, every livery he paints get a lot of research before he does his work.
