Hi guys,
Have any of you had any exposure to the Tamiya F-15E Strike Eagle "Bunker Buster"? I am thinking to build one of these but am not sure of the kit quality, fit problems etc. Please share your experience with this kit.

:-)

Sebastian, I have this and many others on the bench, it the "old" F-15E with added parts for stores and some updated decals for units in Afganistan. Things I noted with this kit air slight gap in the wing/fuselage joint and the cover for the 20mm where it meets the side of the intake. the only other issue is the massive seem to be sanded inside the intake. If you dont feel like creative sanding I recommend some resin intakes. Its a great kit I hope you enjoy it!!! STUG

stugiif is right : it's agreat model but ( because even with tamiya there is some but), the e model from tamyia was made in the early days of the real one wich means that some surgery has to be done about armament and cockpit screen and some sensors/antenna. to get a replica of a f-15e used during afgahnistan campaign or OIF.
