Academy 12478 - 1/72 F-15E Strike Eagle: Small Scale with Strong Detail

The Academy 1/72 F-15E Strike Eagle model brings key airframe lines and cockpit features to a compact kit that appeals to collectors and careful builders. Its neat engineering helps produce an accurate display model without excessive footprint.

Role and Operational Context

The F-15E combines air combat capability with precision strike roles, a versatility that made it a mainstay in modern air forces after its introduction in the late 1980s. Its robust design and avionics set the tone for later strike variants.

Display and Finishing Notes

This kit lends itself to detailed paintwork and light weathering, with recessed panel lines and a cockpit suited to added instrument detail. The finished scale model sits well among other 1/72 aircraft or as a standalone display piece.
