It is based at RAF Lakenheath, England. The 48 FW is the only F-15 wing based in Europe which hosts two F-15E Strike Eagle squadrons. The wing also hosts two F-35A Lightning II squadrons. The 48 FW was given the name \"Statue of Liberty Wing\" on 4 July 1954 and remains the only U.S. Air Force unit with both a name and a numerical designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHobby Master's 1:72 scale F-15 is produced with a high metal content using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The model features near seamless construction as seen on all Hobby Master products, and this is particularly evident with the tight-fitting conformal fuel tanks present on the F-15E variant. Separate open and closed canopy and speed brakes are included, yielding uncompromising detail that functional hinges would lack at this scale. Other fine features include a detailed cockpit interior, a variety of ordnance and drop tanks appropriate to the paint-scheme and landing gear that constructed as completed subassemblies for easy installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiecast metal construction with some plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening canopies, revealing detailed cockpit interiors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterchangeable extended\/retracted landing gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccurately detailed underside with concealed screwheads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Hobby Master","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43392717389980,"sku":"HA4539","price":259.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9095\/3628\/files\/400508_fbdc9f2d-4a97-4640-b21d-3779a31bb877.jpg?v=1781280757","url":"https:\/\/www.harveynorman.lol\/products\/1-72-f15e-strike-eagle-liberator-920364-48th-fw-usaf-2022","provider":"Hobbyco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
