Revell's 1/48 scale
F-15E Strike Eagle

by Maciek Zywczyk

Revell's 1/48 scale F-15E is available online from Squadron

Here is my 1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle kit built with minor modifications.

I used Eduard photo etched set. All air inlets were opened, flaps and stabilizers repositioned and light made from tinted plastic (LEGO).

I chose a colour scheme that was only in place for a very short period of time. All images of real aircraft show the same ordnance. To replicate this, I modified a bomb from other kit and a friend casted six items for me.

I tried kit decals for tiger stripes but on one side decals on pylons didn’t match the fuselage pattern. Correction did not offer a satisfying result, so I removed everything.

After masking white and orange were airbrushed and black stripes brushed with black paint.
