Revell 85-5870 1/48 F-15c Eagle Model Plane Kit

Level 4 Model Kit

As the Vietnam War expanded. the needs of the Navy and USAF could not be serviced by a single aircraft design. The USAF stressed extra power and maneuverability for their needs in an air superiority fighter aircraft. After many proposals. the selected design. F-15C Eagle. entered service in 1978. It has an exceptional record of 100 victories and no losses in air-to-air combat.

The F-15C is powered by two F-100 engines. and can reach a top speed of Mach 2.5. The pilot can fly up to 9 g and still maintain control. It has an internal 20 mm M61 Vulcan cannon and a “look down/shoot down” radar system that can distinguish low flying aircraft from ground clutter. The F-15 has been sold to other countries worldwide and is still in service today. With continuing improvements. it is expected to still be around past 2025.
