Hasegawa 1/72 F-15D/DJ - Recessed or Raised?

I see that https://hlj.com/product/HSGD5 is raised, any aidea about box 00435?

 

It's the same kit.  00435 is the numerical product code; D5 is Hasegawa's series code*.  So that kit *is* 00435, and it has raised panel lines.

*Hasegawa groups their kits into different series, with each kit getting a different alphanumeric code.  Egg Planes are EW__; limited edition kits are typically SP__; 1/48 jets are PT__; 1/72 props are JT__  The recessed panel line F-15 are in the E series, so you would want E39, or one of its many limited edition reboxings.

The Hasegawa Eagle kits with the separate cockpit section are the new tool kits with recessed panellines. It is best to find a picture of the sprues of any particular kit, as I've been fooled more than once by new boxes and new kit numbers.

 

The Strike Eagle Demonstrator kit E10 for example, has raised lines.

I can only speak for the Academy F-15C, which appears to be a copy of the old Hasegawa kit, but with recessed panel lines. That said, I prefer the Academy kit over the old Hasegawa F-15s, but the detail is softer and not as crisp as Hasegawa's new tool kit.
