Summary

The F-15 Eagle is a twin-engine air superiority fighter developed by McDonnell Douglas. It first entered service January 1976, and is still currently in service in United States, Japan, Israel, and Suadi Arabia. It was made to replace the F-4 Phantom, but rather than being a multirole fighter like the F-4, the USAF choose an aircraft focused on air superiority. The F-15 has seen extensive use in The Gulf War, Yemen Civil War, And many other conflicts in the Middle East. Through these conflicts the F-15 has shown its capabilities has a dominant fighter.

In 1978 the USAF started a program focused on achieving an Anti-Satellite weapon that can be launched from an aircraft. The F-15A was chosen as a launch platform for its high-performance capabilities. The ASM-135 ASAT was an 18-foot (5.4 Meters) long three-stage missile, with two booster stages and a Miniature Homing Vehicle (MHV) stage. This missile would be launched form the F-15 at 38,000 feet (11,582 Meters) during a supersonic climb. From there the missile would continue to an altitude of 350 miles (563 Kilometers) tracking the satellite with its infrared sensor. The F-15A used to launch this were modified with a centerline pylon and special targeting system to display on the HUD. From January 1984 to September 1986, five test launches would be conducted. one of these on 13 of September 1985 would successfully shoot down the P78-1 Solwind satellite. the F-15A that launched this missile would be named the “Celestial Eagle” Claiming the only satellite kill by an aircraft-launched missile.

Thanks to MrZebra over on Printables for Suggesting the F-15A, you can consider this a remaster of my F-15E with a bit of a twist.

Also, I now have a donation link! So, if you want to support me and the model that I make, you now can.

Included are both the F-15A and the Celestial Eagle with its stand.

Both Sprue and Sprue-less models included along with models of individual parts. This is yet another one of my models that require no glue. If you are printing with the individual parts you will want:

Fuselage/Fuselage Gear Down/Fuselage ASM-135/Fuselage Gear Down ASM-135 x1

Wing/Wing Weapons x1

Tail/Tail Gear Down L and R x1

Engine x2

Drop Tanks (Only if using Wing Weapons) L and R x1

For mounting of stand: Wing Mount/Wing Weapons Mount and desired fuselage, Tail and Drop tanks.
