Here's your
chance to own one of 4 very attractive F-15 Eagles. The four F-15's featured on
this decal sheet all have attractive features. All of these F-15A's are with the 58th TFTW out of
Luke AFB, AZ and one has eye catching black and white Candy Cane stripes on the wings and
forward fuselage. The black and white stripes are included as
decals. The other 3 F-15's have false canopies and very attractive 3
tone gray "Ferris"
camo schemes that existed at Luke AFB during this same time period.
These aircraft were painted in these Candy Cane markings to make them more visible while training pilots in Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM) when they were being trained in the Eagle.
The aircraft are the
following:
-
TF-F-15A Eagle, USAF S/N
73-0112 with the 58th TFTW, 555th TFTS out of Luke AFB, AZ, Dec 1975.

The instructions are clear
and
include 4 views of each aircraft. The decals are beautifully printed on 2 decal
sheets. Paint codes are called out in FS #'s, Testors MM,
Humbrol, Gunze Sangyo and Xtracrylics. There is a notation on the
decal sheet telling you which ejection seat to use if you build these F-15.
The references for this decal
sheet were kindly provided by Jim Rotramel and this sheet wouldn't have been
possible without Jim's help.
The F-15 has
always been a great
looking jet and the addition of these black and white Candy Cane stripes as well
as the "Ferris" scheme jets will give
you the option of building one of the coolest F-15's for your next model show.
