F-15C Oregon ANG 75th Anniversary

Recommended Posts

I'm still hoping for a Mount Fuji JASDF F-15J but am realising 1/48 is the only way to go for these more flamboyant decors.

 

 

This bird has much more decorations than Mount Fuji japo it seems... it would take four separate sheets at least.

It looks like a Chippy-Ho Hornet with that eagle's head in front!

usually I do not love too gaudy and garish planes but this is interesting

Insufficient resolution, but I'd guess AMRAAMs and two AIM-9X

 

starboard is surely an AIM-9X but the port side I can't distinguishing good...it seems an AIM-9M to me but maybe it's an X as well, as you said.

Hope some aftermarket brand will be doing this lovely marks soon!  :wub:

no idea Luca, where'd you find the pics of the sheet you posted?

 

google searching for some commemorative USAF scheme... then it brought me here:

never heard about Fishbone... what a surprise. Anyway it seems they will be producing 1/32 too... but no so soon as we'd want :-(

Obviously some modellers like special schemes, but aren't too hung up on accuracy, as the be-turkey-feathered "C" type F-15 model well illustrates.

And a C loaded up with bombs and gun pod?

 

I'm not that big into F-15s but I thought Cs were air to air mission and the E was attack.
