The F-15 Eagle is regarded as the most sophisticated combat aircraft ever created. Capable of speeds in excess of 1600 miles per hour, the "Eagle" is powered by two Pratt & Whitney F-100 engines that enable it to out-maneuver an adversary. The "Eagle" is a multi-purpose aircraft, yet it is specifically designed as a fighter interceptor. Guided by on board electronics, the F-15 is armed with eight air intercept missiles and an internal 20 millimeter Vulcan cannon. - Replacing ageing Phantoms, the F-15 represents an interceptor that is significantly more advanced than its contemporaries. This technological advantage provides "Eagle" pilots with a decided advantage in the deadly realm of air to air combat. - Molded in Gray - Ages 12 through adult - Monogram Models 1979
