Will the likes on Hannants and the 48ers still be able to sell these decals, or will USMC Insignia LLC now be the sole outlet?

For your F-15 project, you will want to pick up this decal sheet:

I don't know if the period of the decal sheet would mean the ACES II seat or the Escapac seat.  The illustration shows exhausts with turkey feathers, so you may have to get a set of F-16 exhausts to cover that base as I don't see any turke feathered exhausts for the F-15 available.  However, they were removed early 80s from my understanding.  Hopefully some F-15 experts will chime in.
 
And these wheels (they are intended for the Revell kit, but I am sure you can adapt to the Tamiya kit):

As for references,  you can't go wrong with the Daco book on the F-15A/B.

The lower photo makes it look like it's been winter camouflaged:)

Here's the location of the drain port on the starboard wing.  This is the operational Mk. XIV at Duxford.
 

 
Closeup of the drain port.  The intervals are 1 cm (10 mm).
 

Looking at pics I took of the airworthy Mk. XIV on Duxford, there are no panel lines on the lower wing.  Other pics seem to confirm that the panel exists on the upper surface only so there is a panel line and rivet line along the apex of the leading edge connecting the inboard and outboard panel line on the upper surfaces.

For those in the UK, Time Tunnel Models are able to supply the necessary sprues from the VIII kit.  There may be others too, but I have only used TTM, and have always had excellent service from them.

Finished this kit a couple of months ago.  It is indeed a big, scale plane rather than a big-scale plane:)  The biggest let-down in my opinion is the decal sheet that is lacking a complete set of stencils (no intake warning chevrons for the inboard faces of the nacelles for example), and the walkways aren't right either.  Got a set of custom printed decals from Vingtor Decals for "Vingtor".  The plastic requires a bit of trimming and lots of dryfitting, and adding some missing aerials.  Engines are early configuration, so the hot exhaust needs modifications if your particular airframe has the Performance Improvement Package engines.  Still, the end result is quite rewarding.

I tried to make the underside of my Mossie FB.VI as grungy as the pics I've seen of the real thing.   It was actually quite enjoyable to dirty it up.   Mostly Flory Washes and some pastels.
