F-15C Eagle Fighter Jet – Hasegawa 1/72 Scale – Model Kit Build

While Researching the MiG-25 Foxbat while working on restoring this old model (which is far from complete), I learned that the F-15 Fighter Jet was America’s answer to the MiG-25. I decided that I needed to build and own a F-15 Fighter Jet in the same scale and ideally by the same model kit provider/ brand as my MiG-25, which is Hasegawa.

I jumped on eBay and found the Hasegawa 1/72 Scale F-15C Eagle Fighter Jet kit. I bought it and it arrived recently.

I’ve now started working on it. I’ll put some pics of it here soon. I’m in no rush to complete it. It’s purely a little side-project to give me yet another project to work on when I need a break from my day job, various businesses and other goings-on.

Below are some videos I’ve just watched. They’ve given me some good ideas for my model kit build:

Side note: There is some amazing cockpit detail in this 1/32 model:

I think I would like to make a Strike Eagle that looks like this at some point:
