Hasegawa - 1/72 F-15E Strike Eagle

If you like modern aircraft, then undoubtedly the F-15E StrikeEagle is one that you know quite well. Seeking a dedicated medium strikeaircraft that could also defend itself if need be, the USAF looked to GeneralDynamics and McDonnell/Douglas for modifications of current planes so therewould be some commonality with aircraft already in the inventory. GD offered animproved version of their F-16XL, an enlarged Falcon with a large deltoid wingin place of the normal wing/stabilaor of the Falcon. MD came up with what wasbasically an F-15D with fas-pacs and additional hardpoints. Since the McDDproposal was so similar to the Eagle already in production, they were given thenod to develop the new plane.

McDD took one of the prototype aircraft, 71-291, and outfittedit with all the unique components and systems that would be part of the newStrike Eagle. Tests went very quickly and were almost trouble-free. The newF-15E was able to carry a prodigious amount of ordnance and still be able tocomport itself just like a 'normal' F-15 once the ordnance was dropped. The restis now history as the F-15E has proven itself to be extremely capable in battleas it has been blooded in the Gulf War and the Balkans in the last decade.
