The left vertical fin has the smaller fairing at the top, as per the F-15J kit, parts B3 and B7 from kit no. 60307...

If you look at the very end of the fuselage on the F-15E past the tailplanes they are rounded on both sides, however on the F-15S they are rectangular, the right vertical, left horizontal.

Basically the E model airframe with CFT's set up for dual mission capabilities, air to mud and air to air. As said both both vertical stabs have the weighted counter balances and the squared off antenae's on the stingers. Composite turkey feathers on the engine nozzles. Tail hook fairing was removed in the factory as per all E model airframes that have rolled off the assembly line. No ICS has been installed as that's specifically for the USAF and the S model mostly likely has some locally installed avionics and defensive systems. The left vertical and right vertical stab tourque box beef up plates at the top near the counter balances will need to be put on the kit stabs. Nothing really much of changes from the E, this is just going with the deliveries before 2001 when I worked them in transit. After that year and deliveries after that i am not aware of if they modified them.
