Art. No.: 510001415
Art. Description: 1:72 F-15C Eagle

The model is a replica of the F-15C Eagle. The McDonnell Douglas F-15 is an American all-weather single-seat fighter designed specifically to gain and maintain air superiority. The F-15 Eagle was developed in the 1970s to provide the U.S. Air Force with a modern, highly capable, advanced fighter. The F-15C represents the more modern version and is primarily used today by the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. National Guard, and the air forces of several countries, including Japan, Israel, and Saudi Arabia. The F-15 participated in the Gulf War in 1991 and was able to ensure air superiority over coalition forces. It was the most effective fighter with an impressively high number of enemy aircraft shot down. Armed with a 20 mm cannon, the M61 gun can utilize a variety of air-to-air missiles. Thanks to its two powerful Pratt & Whitney F-100 turbofan engines, the "Eagle" can reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.5.
