Hobby Master HA4560 1:72 F-15C Eagle 84-0027 493rd FS RAF Lakenheath 2014


Preowned - Excellent (8/10)

Description

The F-15C Eagle has long been a benchmark for air-superiority performance, designed to secure control of the skies through speed, climb and powerful radar. This model depicts 84-0027 from the 493rd Fighter Squadron, 48th Fighter Wing, based at RAF Lakenheath, noted as a 2014 subject on the box label. Ideal for a modern USAF-in-Europe display shelf, desk setup, or an air-to-air themed diorama, and a great choice for collectors who enjoy frontline Eagle units and UK-based USAF history.
