Afterburner Decals has turned out some impressive decal releases
covering contemporary US subjects and this another that is
worth having for your next 'Mud Hen' (Strike Eagle) project.
These markings were sized for Revell's excellent 1/48 scale
kit of the F-15, which remains the best in this scale and is
second only to Tamiya's F-15E in 1/32 scale.
This set covers the four different commander's aircraft betwwen
2003 and 2008 from the 366 Fighter Wing at Mountain Home AB,
Idaho. Actually, you'll notice that the 2003 markings are for
the 366 Wing (not Fighter Wing) when it was an operational
experiment to create a deployable 'Super Wing' that had its
own assigned fighters, fighter-bombers, bombers (the B-1B)
and tankers. The four examples included here are:
- F-15E, 87-0210, MO, 366 WG, Wing CC's aircraft, Mt Home
AFB, ID, 2003
- F-15E, 90-0249, MO, 366 OG, Op Group CC's aircraft, Bagram
AB, Afghanistan, 2007
- F-15E, 90-0227, MO, 366 FW, Wing CC's aircraft, Mt Home
AFB, ID, 2008
- F-15E, 90-0245, MO, 12 AF, 12th Air Force CC's aircraft,
Mt Home AFB, ID, 2008
This set provides sufficient stencils and markings to render
two complete aircraft of your choice.
Definitely recommended!
