Hobby Master HA4507 1:72 F-15E Strike Eagle RAF Lakenheath Afghanistan 2007

Sale price£125.00 GBP

Pre-owned - Excellent (8/10)

Description

This F-15E Strike Eagle represents a specific RAF Lakenheath deployment snapshot, depicting aircraft 98-0133 in the Afghanistan (2007) setting noted on the box label. It captures the operational era when USAF Strike Eagles were regularly tasked with long-range precision missions in theatre, making this scheme a great fit alongside other modern combat aviation subjects. Ideal for a USAF-in-Europe display shelf, desk setup, or an Afghanistan-era diorama, and a great choice for collectors who prefer real-world operational markings over generic squadron schemes.
