On the picture of the FineMolds fuselage/wing there is a cut out to fit a panel to the right of the speedbrake. In this F-15E photo, you can see the same area where there is an object that is not flush. Something specific to the Strike Eagle? -

When I watched the video, I thought the centre section between the front of the airbrake and back of the canopy was moulded with the rest of the wing, making it only a J version. But with your edited picture, I see that this short section is a separate piece, so a DJ is possible. There are many aggressor schemes to build. More good news. -

I can't give a "several page long list", but @ya-gabor you have covered it well. The turkey feathers were present at the beginning but soon disappeared early in use, and Finemolds promo art shows one aircraft with the feathers in place so hopefully both will be on one sprue. From my research of my build of a J, just a few antenna type/placement may be different. The fairings extending rear of the exhaust, you will find different combinations depending on airframe, either both pointed, left side pointed only or both rounded as in this picture.

Seems the frequent updates of their previous projects are not the same as their F-15. This showed up just a few hours ago on Twitter..... https://twitter.com/finemolds_t/status/1625796032926990337 -
How is your Japanese? The only review I've seen are like this....... I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. Scalemates shows none. I have the kit and the quality is excellent. Excellent detail and crisp fine panel lines. Unlike the Hasegawa F-2, only parts for the A are included. No pilot figure and no weapons included. Craig

I think I see ADF tail parts in the instructions, should I get my hopes up? This does look good. -

The image is from Model Art Twitter feed, so no more details were given. -
No it's not another variant to the FineMolds Phantom line.

My error, the announcement from this image stated it is a near future release. Craig
