For those who've aquired one or both of the impressive 1/32 Tamiya
F-15C and F-15E Eagles, you may not have noticed that the afterburner
nozzle is over 1/4 of an inch too long. Many people would never even
notice, but those afflicted with AMS will want to correct this 'bug'.
Some modelers have the skills to surgically alter the kit nozzles
themselves, but for those who don't care to potentially mess up an
otherwise expensive ($100+ USD) kit, Cutting Edge has come to the
rescue.
Cast in light gray resin, these nozzles are a drop-in replacement
and include a full set of pushrods that are also cut to the correct
length. The conversion uses the kit's actuators to round out the
conversion.
This is a simple correction for the Tamiya kit to correct the overly
long F100 engine nozzles.
My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions
for this review sample!
