The Republic of Singapore Air Force's (RSAF) 149th Squadron operates the F-15SG, a highly advanced variant of the F-15 Strike Eagle. Equipped with state-of-the-art avionics, radar, and weaponry, the F-15SG enhances Singapore's air defense and strike capabilities. Based at Paya Lebar Air Base, the 149th Squadron is tasked with maintaining air superiority and executing precision strike missions. The squadron regularly participates in regional and international exercises, such as Exercise Pitch Black and Red Flag, showcasing the F-15SG's advanced combat capabilities and strengthening defense partnerships. This makes the 149th a critical component of Singapore's strategic defense​.
Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-15 is produced with a high metal content using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The model features near seamless construction as seen on all Hobby Master products, and this is particularly evident with the tight-fitting conformal fuel tanks present on the F-15E variant. Separate open and closed canopy and speed brakes are included, yielding uncompromising detail that functional hinges would lack at this scale. Other fine features include a detailed cockpit interior, a variety of ordnance and drop tanks appropriate to the paint-scheme and landing gear that constructed as completed subassemblies for easy installation.
