Nice vid review. I have the F-15S boxing which is essentially the same kit but with a few different weapons and pods etc. Don't know if you know this but Boeing and Lockheed Martin only provide the aircraft as a Standard F-15E or now the F-16D and the licensed and private Isreali companies provide all the updates, weapon systems and most of their armament to morph them into the final versions.
@@InternationalScaleModeller For what it's worth: I just cracked mine open that I bought years ago and, besides the canopy, I didn't have issues with it like yours. All the panels lines seem intact.
I remember when Academy kits where at the bottom of the bucket and cheap. I like the fact that they have come up to the standards of the modern moldings. I wish that Hasegawa would do that. I see them doing nothing but reboxing other kits. I wish they would start doing their own kits again.
Great review I'm jealous of you..... Bring only 15 I can't afford all the gear you have plus my dad is rather partial to the garden shed as a shed and not a model space well anyway good model and review! Maybe one day I shall have a shed of a spare room!
Another top notch review - always good work. Shocker of a cockpit!
Cheers mate ;)
Looks like a perfect winter project to me :-)
ha ha - Yes, a project, that's what we'll call it :)

Thanks mate. Yeah knew that the Israeli's do their own work on them once they receive them, it's the same with all their aircraft and armour :)
Good review Lee, I've got this kit but haven't had a look in the box. I'm hoping I don't have the same aft mold and warpage issues. I'll let you know.
Would be interested to know what it's like Bret- Cheers :D
