F-15SA(Saudi Advanced) 0633 of the Royal Saudi Air Force U.S. serial 12-1073, is one of 84 aircraft acquired from Boeing using the U.S. intergovernmental FMS (Foreign Military Sales) sales program. The newer variant of the F-15 features fly-by-wire instead of digital electronic control systems and many other advanced features. The "0" in front of the RSAF serials was an error and will be removed at some point. F-15SA 0633 is assigned to the recently formed 29th Squadron based at the King Faisal AFB, Tabuk.
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.
