Hi Balders

The academy F-22 is a realy nice kit and there is loads of eduard brass on the market for it if you fancy a bit of detailing. But it should be a nice build SOTB. As for the F-15C the hasegawa kit is nice and so is the Tamiya 48th C but as me and Ben have found out the hasegawa F-15E is missing vitakl bits to make a convincing E but it does build a good D :whistle: . I would go for the Academy F-15E as I think it is more acurate.

Academy kit - DEFINITELY recommend this. I'm just about to dig in and start mine (as I really am getting frustrated with my F-15). Detail is all fantastically crisp, and to scale (something which the Hasegawa one recieved criticism on I think?). You also get two canopies - on clear, one tinted gold. No seam lines in them either.

And the decal sheet.... :Wow:

I think you can build every special marked (Eg, 1stFW, 3rdOG, 525thFS) jet in the air force, and by cutting the decals you can build almost any regular one as well :clap:

100% thumbs up.
