NOTES:

Resin

Another new set from our friends at Isracast, this particular version to upgrade your Tamiya 1/32 F-15E to an F-15I. As usual, the IAF had specific things added to their aircraft that makes for something different from the standard E version.

This all resin upgrade set includes new exhaust nozzles, a new center pylon, new avionics antennas for various areas of the aircraft, new bits for the nose gear, a couple of new boxes for the cockpit, new cooling scoops for the rear as well as new flare/chaff dispensers. For the main wing pylons, there are new missile rails.

The modeler does have to make some cuts here and there to incorporate all of this stuff, but the instructions provide information on what is needed as well as photos of the actual parts as installed on the F-15I. All in all, it is a superbly cast resin upgrade set that is not at all difficult to incorporate and will provide you the most accurate F-15I possible.
