Academy 1/48 F-15C/D Eagle Kit Highlights

The Academy 1/48 F-15C/D Eagle kit reproduces the fighter jet's form and key surface characteristics in a manageable 1/48 scale. The plastic components are designed to present accurate lines and fitting points for a clean assembly.

Relevance and Craftsmanship

Debuting in the 1970s, the F-15 became synonymous with air superiority operations. This model captures that legacy through careful representation of the airframe and external features favoured by scale enthusiasts.

Construction and Custom Work

The kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy extra detailing. The cockpit has well-defined parts and the exterior lends itself to painting, panel shading and minor scratch-building to enhance realism.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included

How long does assembly usually take?

Assembly time varies with experience; an intermediate builder can expect several evenings to complete the kit including painting and decals. Rushing can affect fit and finish, so plan sessions.

Are photo-etched parts needed?

Photo-etched parts are optional. They can improve fine surface detail and cockpit realism but are not required to complete a tidy and accurate model.

What finish techniques work well?

Panel shading, subtle weathering and layered clear coats help bring out surface detail. Use light washes and dry brushing to accentuate the cockpit and control surfaces.
