JASDF F-15J J-MSIP 305 Hikōtai 40th anniversary livery. As I was so impressed by FineMolds F-14s and F-4s, I was curious about their F-15 and just preordered it without an idea what to build. Worst case I could go with the standard camouflage. Then I remembered I had the Hasegawa boxing of the 305SQ 40th anniversary, which I only bought to have an in-flight F-15 for another project. Since the decals are unused, I’ll see if I can graft them onto the FineMolds kit. Being both Japanese companies with access to the actual aircraft, I can only imagine their measurements are dead on and hence, the decals should fit. Still debating if I would go for in-flight or static display as the underside isn’t decorated.
