57th FIS F-15D from Hasegawa P22/07022 kit ?


Recommended Posts

Thanks Mungo.

Looking at the kit parts, the main gear doors don't appear to be bulged, so it seems that Hasegawa re-used their F-15D sprues and just added the FAST-packs and weapons to approximate an E-model.

 

Apart from the 57th FIS, did/do any other F-15 unit regularly use FAST-packs ?

Actually, no unit flew with FAST packs.  Kadena, Elmendorf, and Iceland jets did regularly fly with CFTs though, and Langley also used them too; although, to a more limited extent.

Indeed, I was being lazy by referring to CFTs in the A/A configuration as FAST-packs.

 

Images of light grey Eagles wearing CFTs seem very hard to find.

I have found a single image of a ZZ Eagle configured with CFTs and another of Edward AFB's F-15D Glamorous Glennis.

 

Anyone know where I might find more images to use as build references ?
