This model represents an F-15E from U.S.A.F. 405th TTW Tactical Fighter Squadron. The two-engine dual role fighter is considered to be one of the most advanced tactical fighters in the world. Dragon brings you this premiere fighter-bomber in true 1/72 scale. The canopy and speed brake both open and close and the horizontal wings are moveable. This pre-assembled and decorated aircraft is equipped with AIM 120 / AIM 9L missiles, accurate landing gear, detailed cockpit interior, authentic squadron markings and panel lines. All these combine to make it the best diecast F-15E model on the market.
Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Dragon's F-15 series covers the early single and two-seat air-superiority fighter variants and the long-range ground attack "Strike Eagle", with conformal fuel tanks mounted along the engine intakes. The canopy can be configured for display in the open position revealing a detailed cockpit interior. The speed brake is also configurable for displayed in the deployed position. The thin cambered wings and twin vertical fins all feature hand paint strobe lights. The "dog-toothed" elevators rotate, and intricate exhaust and heat weathering detail surround the simulated titanium exhaust nozzles.
