Nice. I wish this kit had the modern nozzles, I too will try and modify a set to fit mine as well.

This kit also has parts with raised panel lines (wth!), Like horizontal stabs and all ordnance. It is recommended to use weapons from other kits/ sets. Personally, I decided to go mostly with OBB build except for nozzels and decals.

Good luck! I'm waiting for my nozzles to arrive. Difficult to find for this exact kit in my country. I'm hoping I can make it work when they get here.

Thank you. Seems like you way ahead of me 🙂 Yea. I think no such nozzels for this kit exist on market. I decided to modify Aires for Hasegawa set.

I have not been able to find any aftermarket stuff for this kit, wich is funny with it being Tamiya. I will use the Hasegawa weapons set on mine, as well as the P.E. set for the Hasegawa F-15C.

@Clifford, seems like you're going to build a Revell's kit. No?

Good to know, that the Aires nozzles don't fit into the Tamiya kit. I better stock up my sanding paper! 🙂

Yes, I am in the process of building the Monogram F-15C right now. The Revell kit is just a re-boxing of the Monogram kit. I also have the Tamiya F-15C kit, so am watching your build with intrest.

Looking very nice. I found a set of aftermarket resin drop tanks. I saw a video where someone was able to fit a set of Res-kit resin nozzles to that kit, you just need to remove the lip around the exhausts opening.

I'm a day late and a dollar short. I see you got the resin exhausts in. It turned out beautiful, a very nice F-15. I will do mine in the markings for Tyndall AFB. in Panama City Fla. as that is where I was born and spent most of my younger years there. I was an Air Force brat. Lol.
