I wonder if any decal sets will be released for these:

Lakenheath F-15's have been busy this year.

No! No new decals. I already have my allocated amount of F-15E's to build. I don't need to add any more, thank you. 😁

494th FS crews were flying whatever jets were there for the Nov 7th drone shoot off. Just saw some full pics of the second set of jets returning to Lakenheath and they are indeed 492nd jets. So, perhaps they left 492nd jets in place and just swapped out the personnel when the Turkey shoot happened.

Sure would be nice to get some of this in decals along with the vilian schemes a while back. Lots of 494th nose art one available but no 492nd

At this point someone should do just a kit of the jet from the nose to just behind the intakes so you could do all the nose arts. lol

I'd bet money Twobobs already has these in work.

Both the 494FS and 492FS has been deployed this year with their own jets. First out was the 494FS, who returned in May, only to deploy again in August. 492FS followed soon after and returned now in December 2024.
