I've decided to build my first "modern" aircraft since about 1979. Assuming you consider an airframe designed in the late 1960s to be "modern".
Looking back, I think I've fallen victim to my love of WWII era camoflage, at least when it came to choosing a kit.
The F-15 was my 1st love, I bought a PC in 1988 to play "Microprose F-15 Strike Eagle", I think it was version II (old school for 2.0) but might have been III. Anyway, after being the quintessential fan of "Red Baron" I settled on "Falcon" as my favorite offline combat simulator, owning every edition every published. In the end, for my toy airplane, I had to choose from many favorites, Starfighter, Phantom, Tomcat, Falcon, damn?
I think my decision was made for me when I saw the paint schemes. I'M A VICTIM!

So it begins...
