I went to high school at Edwards AFB (1975-1979). They started testing the F-15 in 1972, I think. There are a few differences between these test birds and production. The top of wings and stabilizers were badly faded from desert sun. I did print serial number on clear decal paper. The blue is Air Superiority Blue.

So nice to see an F-15 that is actually colourful.

Lovely build! Don't forget to post this as a headline post, so it won't be missed! Nice work on the faded look of the topside.

Very nice Shawn. Great job. (And thanks for a peek at the stash.) 🙂
