Academy 12550 - 1/72 F-15E Strike Eagle '333rd Fighter Squadron'

The Academy 12550 captures the F-15E Strike Eagle in compact 1/72 scale, reflecting the jet's role within the 333rd Fighter Squadron. This subject is known for its multi-role performance in both air-to-air and strike missions, reproduced here for scale enthusiasts.

Why This Jet Appeals to Modellers

The F-15E was developed in the late 1980s for long-range, high-speed strike duties without escort requirements. The 333rd Fighter Squadron's operational record gives this model historical relevance for display and study.

Can this kit be adapted with aftermarket sets?

Wash parts to remove mould release, lightly sand seams, and apply a primer before final colours to improve paint adhesion and reveal fine panel lines.
