Revell 03972 F-15E Strike Eagle & Bombs 1:144 Scale Unbuilt/Unpainted Plastic Model Kit

For the price of the kit, it is much better than I expected. The moulding is very good with little flash and average but good detail. Nothing was damaged and the instructions is easy to read. And VERY surprisingly, ALL OF THE PAINT WAS LIQUID!?!?! I WAS TRULY SURPRISED! Usually all model kits that have fun paint have somewhat dried paint which needs experimenting with thinner to revive and make usable. But this one, it was too good to be true. The paint is all very fresh. I have almost finished the cockpit and very happy with the way it's going. Great kit, great price, great model too! I would surely recommend.

I'd prefer an f14-b in carrier colors....but man...i love this model so much.....i's AWESOME! I just leave it in the box as an ornament, oh yeah it comes with paints..... 5/5

I'll update this once I'm done, but for now I'm in the middle of build and generally it's very good. I'm more into 48th builds so was a little wary of the smaller scale. But this 2021 tooling is impressive in detail with a good cockpit (I've added more seat belts) and the surface detail is subtle and comprehensive. Some kits (looks at Airfix) can be a bit heavy handed with their panel lines at this scale. Fit is generally OK, tho the underside wing joint needs a fillet (the other side is fine), and the build is complicated due to the Eagles complicated shape. The decals look amazing in the flesh and hopefully go on well. Once I'm done, or find issues, I'll update this. A Update - FFWD some time (and even longer to remember to return to this) and the Eagle is done and proudly displayed. She took some sanding to make the joints presentable but that's Eagles for you, their shape is difficult to mould for kit manufacturers so no fault of Revell that some effort was required. But it paid off I think. She looks great. One issue was the extravagant decals. They tore several times and I had to replace them. Unfortunately the plane's curves defeated the big decal sheets which snapped during positioning. Perhaps you could slice them up first into more manageable pieces, but yeah, be warned. It's tough esp around the nose and cockpit. So I got 3rd party markings for Lakenheath in the UK where I've spent many happy days watching these things for real. Overall its a great kit. Sometimes Revell do them, believe it or not, and this is one.

Recipient loved this product

This was a birthday gift for a little boy (9 to) who is obsessed with airplanes and is a big fan of Top gun. He managed to assemble it with the help of his dad and a little bit of glue relatively quickly and he loves it! The only thing is he didn’t manage to put the stickers on ( too tiny and even following the instructions teu just fell apart )but still got a cool addition to his airplane collection!

Nice model to do , good scale , looks good

Bought as a present and person was very happy with item !

Grandson loved this for Christmas. Only 4 stars as I think the air kit should have paints included. Although it states no paint are with this product.

可変翼連動が良かった

Çok küçük fena değildi

passt

A mio figlio di 10 anni piace un sacco. E' sicuramente da aiutare nel montaggio in quanto non sempre facile ed agevole per un bimbo di quell'eta'. Il risultato finale e' cmq ottimo. Consiglio.
