Hosted by the ‘Bold Tigers’ – the F-15E-flying 391st FS at Mountain Home Air Force Base – in October 2005 a total of 7 units with 25 aircraft and 321 personnel participated in this TMOTA. This particular F-15E was one of the hosts during this third TMOTA. The 1:144 Revell kit was released in October 2011 and was a one of the new injection mold "New Tool" label. Very good surface details and clean crafted
parts. The small, well-designed cockpit with the ejection seats are real
eye-catchers. The nozzles needed much rework to recreate the original. At this time I did not do ... maybe next time. The wheels and wheel wells are well done. Four AIM-9 Sidewinder, two AIM-120 AMRAAM, and two external fuel tanks are included.
