Tamiya 61030 1/48 JASDF F-15J Eagle Scale Model Kit  [61030]

Tamiya 61030 1/48 JASDF F-15J Eagle kit overview

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is a landmark fighter in modern aviation history, noted for its speed and combat performance since first flying in July 1972. The JASDF adopted the F-15J in 1981, adapting the type for national air defence duties. This 1/48 scale kit from Tamiya 61030 recreates the F-15J with faithful proportions and period-correct markings for scale enthusiasts and collectors.

Scale fidelity and surface detail

This kit emphasises authentic surface lines and panel detail to mirror the F-15Js airframe and JASDF-specific modifications. Decal placement and engraved features help model builders reproduce the aircrafts distinctive look and electronic fitments where visible on the real jet.

Assembly advice for model builders

The Tamiya 61030 kit rewards careful builders who pay attention to fit and paint. Clear step-by-step instructions guide the build, but accurate alignment and a steady painting technique will improve the finished result, making it suitable for hobbyists moving beyond basic kits.
