Pieces

Sold as 1 piece.

Does not include the model of the F-15.

Assembly

Only require the gluing and assembly to the plane. The basrelief "NO PUSH" is optional. Its function is to allow the painting of these letters and their background box.
 

Scratch

This detailset does not require scratch work. It is prepared for painting and assembly in the model of the plane. The rivets stand out more than necessary and reliefs have been placed in the changes of inclination of the end of the afterburner, to facilitate the painting with different tones by zones. If they are not desired, simply sand them lightly.

It may be necessary to sand and match with putty the union of the inner lining of the afterburner with the remaining part of this in the original model.
