Hmm, I just saw somewhere where Great Wall was fixing to release a B/D with USAF and Israeli markings.

Here is a link to some pre-review CAD pics and such.

The Actual F-15E is a upgraded D model. The earlier Hasegawa F-15E kit is actually a upgraded kit of their F-15B kit so stay away from that one.

revell has the most accurate E and hasegawa has the most accurate C even though it still has some problems. the engine bulge on academy's C are out of proportion and to large. stay away from hasegawa's E has it's a rebox of their D kit with extra crap to dress it up as an E.

How about Eduard's 1:48 scale F-15A/C?  Great model, a bit pricy, highly detailed with photo-etched metal frets and a replacement resin ejection seat.  Details in abundance as well as markings for 4 Eagles.

That's the Academy release of the F-15A/C that Eduard is using.
