The First Operational F-15 Squadron November 14, 1974

As I remember it, Monogram released the first model kit of the F-15 in 1/72nd scale.
It was molded in pale blue plastic and I'd guess a lot of us were wondering, "What the heck is Air Superiority Blue?". :unsure:
I can't remember the numbers but it did feature the LA tail code in white letters.
 
I had that model, as did my brother. Later, there was a 1/48th scale of an F-15E Strike Eagle that spent quite some time on. It was a Revell kit and I remember what a chore it was to get those fast-pack fuel tanks to fit properly on the fuselage. lots of trimming and sanding.
