Hobby Master HA4556 1:72 F-15C Eagle Digital Splinter Scheme 65th Aggressor Sqn


Preowned - Very Good (7/10)

Description

The USAF Aggressor mission is designed to replicate enemy tactics in dissimilar air combat training, and the F-15C Eagle has long been a key platform for high-end air-to-air training. This model depicts 78-0509 from the 65th Aggressor Squadron, 57th Wing, wearing the striking “Digital Splinter Scheme” (2012) shown on the box label. Ideal for a modern fast-jet display shelf, desk setup, or a tactical training-themed diorama, and a great choice for collectors who enjoy standout aggressor liveries and classic air-superiority fighters.
