I was amazed to see the size of the F-15 when I built it in 1/72 – and this little scale is equally interesting – it bulks over the other models on the shelf.
I guess this is because of he engines and the amount of flying an air superiority fighter needs to do; shoot down enemies over their own territory. Plenty of space for camouflage, but these days it is all grey.

Kit as usual quite well done with little flash and no sinks or pins visible. No cockpit detail to speak of but at least there are proper gear doors. The decal sheet is not lo-vis so I put the time of kitting somewhat earlier than current markings. The panel lines are about as good a compromise as you could get for scale and visibility.
