F-15E Strike Eagle 1/72 Die Cast Model Tiger Meet of Americas 2005

I have been wanting a strike eagle for a while now. At first I wasn't sure if I liked the tiger scheme, but after purchasing it and seeing it in person, it looks awesome. I am impressed with the detailing and the fit of the various parts including the canopy and the conformal fuel tanks. The only parts lacking better detail are the exhaust nozzles. With the "turkey feathers" removed, they need a little bit more attention to accurate detail, but it still looks good and better than in the pictures. The tiger profile on either side of the canopy looks really good. They tried to give it the chalky flat pastelle look like the pictures of the real aircraft. For an extra authentic touch, you can paint the pilots' helmets orange to match the color on the speed brake. Great looking warplane. I wish I could have seen the real thing in person.
