In 2023, the Republic of Singapore Air Force unveiled this colorful F-15SG to commemorate its 55 year anniversary.
The Republic of Singapore Air Force has two squadrons of F-15SG, 142nd Sqn "Gryphon" and 149th "Shikra" (Sparrow Hawk) based at Paya Lebar, AB. The F-15SG Strike Eagle is a variant of the F-15E, similar in configuration to the F-15K sold to South Korea. It can perform air-to-air and air-to-ground attack missions in all weather conditions. The RSAF has 40 F-15SGs in service today.
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.
JC's 1:72 scale F-15s feature an impressive amount of pad-printed markings including some elaborate paint schemes and numerous warning placards found adorning the entire airframe. They are highly detailed with a delicate thin cambered wing, simulated stainless-steel heat shielding surrounding the engine exhausts, movable razor thin all metal elevators and rudders. The underside of the aircraft features metal landing gear with a full complement of beautifully pad printed ordnance. Showing remarkable attention to detail, actuators extend and retract with the hinged canopy and speed brake and compressor fans will even spin if air is blown into the engine intakes!
