Thank you for choosing the F-15 Assembly Model Kit from Bridg Manufacturing!
The F-15E Strike Eagle is a twin-engine multirole strike fighter designed to perform precision air-to-ground attack missions while retaining the exceptional air-to-air capabilities of the original F-15 Eagle. Developed by McDonnell Douglas and now produced by Boeing, the Strike Eagle combines long-range performance, advanced avionics, and heavy payload capacity into one of the world's most capable combat aircraft.
Designed to operate day or night and in all weather conditions, the F-15E has served in numerous combat operations around the world. Its ability to deliver precision-guided munitions while defending itself against enemy aircraft has made the Strike Eagle a cornerstone of modern air power.

• If a stronger, more permanent model is desired, small amounts of hobby-grade adhesive may be used at the builder's discretion.
• Some parts may require firm pressure to fully seat together. Avoid excessive force that could damage the model. Force only in intended direction and try not to force in incorrect direction. Sideways? Diagonal? SNAP!
• Heat sources can burn you and, should you choose this method to remove "plastic hairs", it should only be done by an adult.
• Assembly is easiest when performed on a clean, flat work surface with good lighting.

MAIN BODY
STEP 1: Assemble fuselage.
STEP 2: Assemble wings (shown is right wing).
STEP 3: Insert emblems into both wings. It shouldn't matter which one goes where but if you're having issues, try swapping them. Right wing has emblem on underside of the wing and the left wing has emblem on top.
NOTE: It can be helpful to use something hard and flat between plane pieces and your thumb. A butter knife seems to work good.
STEP 4: Install wings
STEP 5: Insert vertical and horizontal stabilizers.
NOTE: For the vertical stabs, the shiny side will be facing outboard. For the horizontal stabs, the shiny side will be facing up.
UNDERBELLY / MISSILES

STEP 7: Install attachments IN ORDER. Install all 1's first, followed by 2's, then 3's, and 4 last. Picture below has photo without numbers for better visual.
WARNING: Not following order could result in breaking attachment pieces.
