Print Scale 48-030 Decal F-15E EAGLES Part 1 Scale 1:48 for Aircraft Plastic model kit

Print Scale 48-030 Waterslide Decals are designed for 1:48 scale models of the McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle. This set (Part 1) focuses on USAF F-15E aircraft carrying unit identifiers and special presentation artwork associated with the 9-11-2001 “Never Forget” theme, including tail codes, serials, unit emblems, and named aircraft markings.

The sheet is intended for standard waterslide application and provides a mix of large-format tail markings and smaller details. It also includes a substantial selection of airframe data and stencil-style elements to help finish an F-15E build with consistent surface markings.

The F-15E Strike Eagle is a twin-engine, two-seat strike fighter used by the United States Air Force from the late Cold War era into the modern period. For modelers, the type offers a clear contrast between overall airframe finishes and highly visible squadron identifiers, making it a practical subject for modern tactical aircraft projects.

This decal set is useful when you want to represent a specific serial-numbered F-15E with documented unit badges and commemorative artwork rather than a generic markings layout. It is listed as universal and can be paired with most 1:48 F-15E plastic model kits; due to the number of small markings and alignment-sensitive items, it is generally better suited to experienced builders.
