Academy 1/48 F-15C/D Eagle Model Introduction

The Academy 1/48 F-15C/D Eagle kit is a compact but detailed representation of the combat fighter. The moulding captures panel lines and airframe contours that make the model suitable for detailed finishing and display stands.

Operational History and Model Fidelity

Introduced in the 1970s to secure air dominance, the F-15 remains a significant design in fighter development. This kit aims to reflect the aircrafts characteristic shape and notable external fittings for hobbyist accuracy.

Tips for Assembly and Detail Work

Geared toward builders who enjoy fine-scale work, the kit contains a detailed cockpit and several small external parts. Painting, decal application and careful seam treatment will enhance the final presentation of the model.

Specifications

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

What tools are essential for this kit?

Essential tools include fine cutters, sanding sticks, precision tweezers, modelling cement and a selection of brushes. An airbrush is recommended for even paint coverage but is not mandatory.

Will the kit accept aftermarket decals?

Aftermarket decal sheets made for 1/48 F-15 kits can be used, but check alignment with the kit parts and perform test fits before final application.

How should I store the finished model?

Display it in a dust-free cabinet away from direct sunlight to protect paint and decals. A stable base or stand will prevent small parts from being stressed over time.
