Quality metal model of military aircraft McDonnell Douglas F15B "NASA" 836, Edwards AFB Airshow 2022 (w/ optional AIM-54 missile)
In 1967, the US learned about the Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat. This necessitated the development of a new aircraft against the MiG-25. The USAF rejected the USN F-14 Tomcat and issued its own requirements. The solution came in the form of the McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle. The F-15A made its inaugural flight in July 1972, and in January 1976 the first Eagle entered service. The "E" entered service in 1989. The F-15 was the USAF's first dedicated air superiority fighter since the F-86 Sabre.
The package includes a metal structure with several plastic components, realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details, printed markings and labels that do not peel off like stickers, opening cockpits to reveal detailed cockpit interiors, interchangeable extend/retract landing gear.
