The build

The ATM/ERTL ASM-135 is much better than a Shapways 1:72 3D printed missile. The 3D Shapways missile had 1 to many fins & no details.

The Academy drop fuel tanks, very nice & they fit the same mounting holes on the ATM/ERTL kit!
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/7/9/2/445792-36234-38-720.jpg)
The ATM/ERTL nozzle (unpainted) not very detailed, the Academy nozzle (painted) very detailed.

The scaled down from 1:48 to 1:72 decals, A lot of computer work.

Painted with the 2 tone grey camo using the home cut soft paper masks.

Update: Academy tanks added with gear doors, the tanks fit very well

Decaling an F-15 easily is the most time consuming of the project

the scale down from 1/48 to 1/72 came out well, looks like a satellite killer to me.

The AMT 2 part clear canopy did not fit the best. Their was a gap on the front edge & the rear hinges stuck up out of the fuselage.
