Description
A F-15SE of the 302 Hikotai from the Japanese Air Self-Defence Force (JASDF) fighting against a MiG-29C of the Korean's People Air Force (KPAF - North Korea) over the smoking city of Tokyo.
Been a while since I made a vector art project
And I'm pretty happy with this due to the amount of detail I've put into it. From the markings in both Japanese and Korean to the wing condensation and the heat effect from the F-15's engines. The city is in fact a heavily modified screenshot I took from Google Earth with all the 3-D buildings. Wasn't easy to use. Had to actually take 2 different screenshots, one in normal light and the other one in sunset mode to see how the shadows interacted with the buildings. A little bit of applying effects and the combing of both pictures to get something like you see here.
Obviusly it ain't perfect due that the screenshots I take are rather low quality when it comes to resolution. Meh... Motion blur effect would have killed any details anyway.
I'm only using Google Earth to make backgrounds when I want to add a very realistic background for my air vector pictures. I will still be doing hand made background every now and then when I feel it won't ruin the picture, or just do some speedpainting.
The planes.
This scene is obviously based in an alternative near future where Japan is under attack by it's neighbours. In that alternative universe the JASDF has begun replacing their older F-15Js and F-15DJs with the newer and stealthier F-15SEs. The 302 Hikotai is based at Hyakuri (RJAH). Not too far away from Tokyo.
The MiG-29C was painted using a couple of photos taken in mid air by a US crew as reference. Just so happens to be those photos are probably the only photos available from the North Korean MiG-29 Fulcrums. And they were not precisely good quality so I did played a bit with the colors but I hope it's accurate.
Sparkle brushes are from
Well.. I hope you like this
Now I will get into my hand-made projects. Let's see if I can finish them soon
I will get to all your comments ASAP so don't worries. 
See'ya in the Battlefield!

When I see for the 1st time,Im a fan of The Transformers and (sometimes because I actually like more passenger jets) of the Fighter Jets,when I see for this picture this was my 1st through about it.
Air Raid (F-15SE) vs Dreadwing (MiG-29)
Air Raid it's the only F-15 of the G1 series who is an Autobot,because the F-15 it's a very common Decepticon Seeker Mode. And Dreadwing,in his Movie videogame version adapted as a Cyclop Drone,it transforms into this vehicle,but in grey colors,ressembling almost to the Russian Air force MiG-29s.

And this is the Dreadwing's toy,compared with their Repainted mold Overcast to giving an idea:

smoking city of Tokyo?
where is smoke? Β
what kind of smoke?
cigarettes are legal, you know. Β

I see a new Ace Combat game in the making!Β
Also, as deadly as the MiG-29 is, the Japanese pilots are probably better trained, plus the F-15 has never suffered a single combat loss, so I'm gonna give this round to the JASDF.

Well there's a new Ace Combat being made. Namely Ace Combat 7. A teaser was released sometime late last year.

KPAF only have 35 Mig-29 to put in the air and the rest are out of date J-7s
From the human rights violations they commit they need to be eliminated already!

Very true. The North Korean MiG-29s' range is also not long enough for them to reach Tokyo and make it back as I've found out after making the picture. They would need mid-air refueling, perhaps twice troughout the entire mission. The few numbers available of them would limit them to defensive operations only.
It has beenΒ said that North Korea is interested in buying the Russian Su-35 which in sufficient number may make of the North Korean Air Force a true air threath again. However with the weapons sanction they're under, it may not come to be. On the other hand, Russia and North Korea may soon be seeking reaprochement so that could still happen.

Yes you are right comrade but seeing the Mitsubishi F-2 in action during flight test in Nevada the Su-35 inthe hands of those Norks may still have no chance.
I have little faith in the Nork air force.
And the radar systems of both the jasdf and the usaf is the best in the region bar none.

Hmm dunno. The Su-35 is rated as one of the most deadly fighters in the russian arsenal. But yeah it alone won't do much. Japan and the US got the upper hand and will have it for the long term future.
π: 0 β©: 1
Also and please don't think me a bigot but the training style of the nork air force is primitive. Β The pilots of the Jasdf and SKAFΒ
are attendies of Red Flag in the USA and are well hearsed in ariel
combat. Β Also many western pilot have trained to fight the Su-35
when they have mock air battles with nations allied who fly Sukhoi style fighters.
I am a fan of Su-27-35 varient fighters
i hate to see these fighters in the hands of slimy evil nations.
π: 0 β©: 1
I must apologize for the long delay in replying but i got help up by studies and work again.
I agree that Japanese and South Koreans pilots got better training and equipment than the north koreans do. Heck the air-worthyness of the North Korean air force is probably pretty bad as well.

Like i said before i hate to see excellent Russian fighter jets in the hands of evil nations.
I want North Korea to roll over and die already!
π: 0 β©: 1
We all want but it looks like North Korea will be here for a while.
Kim Jong Un's ice below him is however starting to get thiner. At the rate it is killing the opposition it will only increase the chance of the rest of the political elite to start an uprising.
I mean really, how long can they support him knowing they all have a death penalty already to be carried at any given moment?
π: 0 β©: 1
when the people feel they have nothing to lose they will revolt and i hope it looks like what happened to mussolini Kim's fat ass dragged through the streets and beaten and than hung by a cheering people who can finally breathe freedom!
π: 0 β©: 1
We can only hope. But North Korea is not any country with a typical dictatorship, they haveΒ it since the 1950s. Some good 65-70 years. The vast majority of North Koreans may not know anything else other than that what the government has instructed them to learn.
π: 0 β©: 1
You have a point there and the fear that fat pig instills in his people may keep them from revolting.
we can only hope his fat ass has a physical problem like a heart attack due to the weight he has packed on
over the years!

I want North Korea's rotten regime to be kicked over!
π: 0 β©: 1
Most of us want that too! While the norks are known to make empty threats of agression, their pursuit of WMDs to back up those threats and ever escalating hostility towards everyone will sooner or later lead up to war. It's a ticking time bomb.

This looks like one of those dogfights where they just circle around each other until one finally decides to break off...Β
π: 0 β©: 1
haha, had some of those in YS Flight Simulation System.
I can tell you though that IRL there'd be more fighters providing cover and making sure that that kind of 1v1 dogfights dont last for long.

Kim, you just went full retard.
NK vs. Japan- NK will surely lose, obviously.
NK vs. Philippines- Uh, I don't know, but the US always backs us up. That would work.
Anyway, as said before, the Fulcrum can't go side-by-side with the Eagle--It'll eat it's dust.
It would be a nightmare if the NK Fulcrum fights a JASDF F-35 Lightning.
π: 0 β©: 1
Very true indeed. The older version of the MiG-29 that North Korea has dont really stand much of a chance against the F-35.
Truth be told it is doubtful that the Fulcrums would be able to fly over Japan from the Korean Peninsula. It has been pointed out to me that without aerial refueling (Which I think north korea lacks) their Mig-29s wouldnt be able to fly all the way to Tokyo, engage in sustained combat and then return home on their own fuel.
IRL their Migs would just be used for local air defence which is the case.
Also I should clarify that this picture was made when Japan seemed like a potential candidate for the F-15SE but nowadays we know that that is not going to happen. They're gonna go with the F-35A instead.
π: 0 β©: 1
So that says that the nightmare of the NK MiG-29s will come soon!
BTW, a air attack on either Japan, Philippines or any UN-affiliated nation is pretty impossible without AAR. I guess they don't want to "use the filthy Western hardware." Well, that'll do them some failures if they still resist.
π: 0 β©: 0
Which one? The MiG-29 or the F-15?
π: 0 β©: 1
The F-15. But anyways, Nice work!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm dont know, Tokyo is after all in Japan. Would be weird to have South Korean fighters flying there. Although the South Koreans are not fond of the Japanese. Perhaps even less so than the north koreans.
Maybe a South Korean F-15 versus Japanese F-15 would have been a more fitting picture.

Unlike us Filipinos, i heard that SK is still mad at Japan after WWII, but us Filipinos, are now friendly with both of them.

Yeap. China and the two Koreas have a pretty hard time getting over WW2 when it comes to Japan.

I always thought that "Why can't all of us be friends?"

hmmm somestimes it's good business for some to keep things as they are.

Feel sorry for the MiG-29C! XD The F-15SE will eat it for breakfast! XD Nice job dude!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much. I'm glad you like this picture.
And yeah those rusty Fulcrums dont stand much of a chance against 4.5th gen fighters.
Though I guess the norks will get newer and better planes eventually. Those MiGs aint gonna fly forever.
