An F-15 in WW2? Building The Academy USAF F-15 In A Fictional D-Day Paint Scheme - Build & Review

What would have happened if a McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle accidentally got transported back in time to the early 1940's? Join me in this video as I build the Academy USAF F-15 (12609) plastic model kit in 1/144 scale - but with a twist!

This model is finished in a D-Day paint scheme to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of that event an I complete a bit of a review on this kit, sharing my thoughts on the model at the end. I also chose to build this one in a "back to basics" style - using enamel paints and handpainting the majoirty of the model!

This model was built as part of a Buddy Build with some other channels here on YouTube, all building a F-15 but with a twist - It can't be built using any included decal schemes in the box. Check out their channels here to see what they create:
