Great job !

Masterpiece

Plenty of pics show Escapac seats, the old True details seats are a good fit. Now the real question is did it have the E style cockpit panels ..... Think it had a stock B (Test) configuration cockpit, the fancy CRT's came later when the airframe became the real strike eagle demonstrator in the standard grey paint colors ?

Excellent !

What decals will you be using ?

Take a look here ; around 1Hr 10 Min ...filmed by my Dad in may 1992

Most of the detail pictures in the VP book are off F-15D 84-0044

Apparently the 23 TFS Tigers from Bitburg (they had the 84-XXX planes) were MSIP in Desert storm . The 525TFS Bulldogs with the 79-xxx planes were not MSIP in DS.
They all had the chaff flare buckets in front of the MLG. BTW If you have the Verlinden LOCK ON detail book on the F-15. Its a 1989 walkaround of Bitburg Jets and you can clearly see in some pictures the chaff and flare buckets.
Another little detail to look out for is the ACES II seat, around DS period on top of the seat there was installed a canopy piercing device.
Most BT jets were allready repainted once before they went to DS and it was still the light/dark ghost gray combo (Not MOD eagle!) but the dark ghost gray was a bit more darker. Nice detail if you model a still factory painted eagle is al the panel numbers all over the plane...

Might consider getting the cold war studio nose correction (complete front fuselage actually..) Trumpy got the nose completely wrong.

Great info guys!
Regardless where it came from, its great to have one on display so close.

Interesting! I was always told (and can remember) that it came directly from the Ruskies.

Yes it is obviously a BN, the one in the video is also from that ex-Egyptian batch of 23MS / 23BN mix.
I dont know where did the Belgians get an ex-Egyptian BN for the Brussels museum. Could it be also from the US just as that ex-Indonesian / ex-4477 MiG-21F-13 No.77?
Best regards

Its a ex-russian bird in Brussels. They got it directly after the end of the Cold war.
