The McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle is a highly capable, dual-role fighter designed for air-to-air superiority and precision ground attack missions. Introduced in the late 1980s, the F-15E combines the proven airframe of the F-15 with advanced avionics, conformal fuel tanks, and a sophisticated weapons suite, allowing it to operate day or night in all-weather conditions. The “Seymour Johnson” edition represents aircraft flown by the 4th Fighter Wing based at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, showcasing authentic squadron markings and livery.

Academy’s 1/48 scale F-15E Strike Eagle plastic model kit provides a highly detailed replica of this modern multirole fighter. The kit features finely engraved panel lines, a fully detailed cockpit with instrument panels and ejection seats, and realistic landing gear assemblies. Weapons and stores include a full array of air-to-air and air-to-ground munitions, drop tanks, and pylons for authentic mission configurations.

Additional details include optional open or closed canopy display, clear parts for the cockpit, and precise surface molding that captures the sleek lines of the Strike Eagle. Ideal for advanced modelers, the 1/48 F-15E builds into an impressive display piece, highlighting one of the U.S. Air Force’s most versatile and powerful combat aircraft.
