These new resin set of resin seamless intakes from Cutting Edge Modelworks will be a very welcome item for anyone building the very fine 1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle.  It is unlikely that this set will fit other F-15 kits.  I was quite impressed when I saw that the intakes were done in white resin and the fan blades were done in gray resin.  Painting white is always a difficult task for all but the most seasoned scale modeller and doing these in white resin will assist greatly.  You will need to cut and grind your kit to prepare it for these resin intakes and the resin intakes will need a tiny bit of work remove them from the casting blocks.

Resin casting is of a very high quality and all the detail is very well done with no air bubbles.  This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks will permit modelers to take their 1/48 Revell F-15E and go to town with some first rate seamless resin intakes.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
