I think the F-15E is a plain beauty - plain because theres not that much to look at besides lots of gunship gray. So in this build I wanted to add some parts which add color and make the Mudhen more interesting to look at. Mainly those are the red antenna cover parts, which I scratchbuilt, and the superb remove-before-fligh-flags by HGW. The airbrake is supposed to be a spare part directly from a Charlie, I saw this in an air refueling pic and went for it. To make things even more interesting I chose an asymmetric loadout starring a nice fat GBU-15.
The kits decals are very nice but I have seen too many "Tiger Lead" machines everywhere and wanted something else. I imported some interesting decals from China and chose a Seymour Johnson Mudhen with a cool OEF noseart. The decals are from BestFong, not too bad, but could be a lot thinner.
