1/72 F-15C Eagle "U.S. Air Force" (Hasegawa 1:72 Aircraft Series E13)

The McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle is the main fighter of the US military.

In December 1969, the US military decided to make McDonnell Douglas the next main air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom II.

The F-15, which was produced in response to this, is slightly larger than the F-4 Phantom II, but its weight is lighter than the F-4 Phantom II due to the use of composite materials.

Equipped with a powerful engine and the latest electronic equipment, this aircraft boasts excellent flight performance and combat capabilities.

The F-15C model, which has been in production since May 1980, has improved fire control equipment, allowing for multi-purpose simultaneous search and tracking, and has increased the onboard fuel capacity, which was a problem with the A and B models.

It is also possible to equip the side of the fuselage with a canoe-shaped conformal tank.
