McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Strike Eagle, Jet Nozzles (with external flaps) (Resin, Photoetch) Scale 1:48 (Recommended for kit: Revell, Great Wall Hobby) Metallic Details MDR4828 - For Aircraft Model Kit

Metallic Details MDR4828 upgrades the exhaust area on a McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Strike Eagle build in 1/48, recommended for Revell and Great Wall Hobby kits. The set combines resin parts with photo-etched details to represent jet nozzles with external flaps, a feature that is easy to lose in simplified kit exhausts.

The F-15E Strike Eagle is a two-seat multirole strike fighter. This set focuses on the rear-end detail only, helping you improve nozzle depth and flap edge definition while keeping the rest of the build unchanged (kit-dependent).

For modelers: test-fit the resin nozzle parts inside the kit’s rear fuselage before paint to confirm diameter and depth. Prime and smooth the resin surfaces for metallic paints, then add the PE flap details after the main metal finish is stable; install the completed nozzles late to avoid handling marks and bent edges.
