1/144 ModelArt F-15E Strike Eagle

Note: this may be suicidal. This model would have been the most difficult one that I've ever made if I was making it in 1/32. But, you see, I'm crazy, so 1/144 it is. If the build doesn't finish, I tried. Also, I have photoshopped the tail and intakes around to be Nellis AFB markings. This is so I can enter that exclusive "Nellis" category at nearby modeling contests.
.
I'm contemplating on whether or not to make the egg-crate or not for the wings. Any thoughts?

Good luck of this project. I have the kit, but been putting it off until I get the skills to do it right. 1/144 scale is just insane! I will watch with much interest.

Have fun building it. Can’t wait to see it completed.

Give it your best Aleem. Each failure is a lesson on how to do it right next time.

Waiting for some new ink. The high detail on the good Doctor's plans is a double-edged sword - my printer sometimes simply gives up. It's a Canon MG7500

Hello Robotaleem,
that is a challenge indeed. I hope you turn your words into actions and your model becomes reality.
I did reduce a kit (FLY Yak 38 1:33 to 1:200, first issue) that was possible because the original kit has only a few (so they were big) parts. Have a look here:
Yak 38 M and Yak 38 U 1/200
The scaling down factor was 6. You intend a scaling with a factor greater 4 with a very detailed kit. That is a task for a very experienced model builder, I think.

Crazy, very crazy
Looking forward for your model.
