Description

Whilst this publication is aimed at the aircraft modeller, there’s more than enough information for the aviation enthusiast and devoted fan of the F-15 Eagle, too. The authors know their subject well and, given the multitude of changes that have been made to the Eagle’s airframe as part of the Multi-Stage Improvement Program (MSIP), this title focuses on the early-model F-15A/Bs. The  colour close-up images show every modification made to the airframes in minute detail, from the changes on the cockpit sidewalls to every avionics bay. The captions are detailed. Even the many modifications made to the AIM-9 Sidewinder rails during the early years of Eagle operations is all explained and illustrated here. As a bonus, the book includes 1:48 and 1:72 fold-out line drawings of the Eagle, illustrating plan views, weapons loads, and the upgrades made to the instrument panels. An ideal reference for the scale modeller.
