The Italeri 1:48 scale model kit lets you recreate the F-15E Strike Eagle, a modern jet born from the original F-15 design. Developed in the 1970s and entering service in the late 1980s, the F-15E replaced the older F-111 in the United States Air Force.
This twin-seat, all-weather fighter-bomber kept key features from the original F-15, like the twin tails, mid-wing structure, and strong aerodynamic design. The second seat in the cockpit was for the Weapon Systems Officer, who handled target tracking, route control, and countermeasures.
The F-15E saw action in major operations such as Desert Shield and Desert Storm in the early 1990s. This Italeri kit is perfect for collectors and hobbyists wanting a detailed and realistic model of a combat-proven aircraft.
