Ever since its maiden flight in July 1972, this record breaking Mach 2.5 fighter has been a yardstick for jet fighter design. In the early 1980\"s, the Air Force requested McDonnell Douglas to modify their F-15 fighter into a dual-role aircraft to be known as the F-15E \"Strike Eagle\" for use as an air-to-air fighter, and for air to ground attack missions. This new version was designed to penetrate deep into enemy territory unescorted, and strike military targets with pinpoint accuracy. The strike eagle employs two highly reliable Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney F100-PW-229 engines and was designed specifically as a two-person crew of pilot and weapons system officer. The LANTRIN (Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infra-Red for Night) system enables the Strike Eagle to operate at night and in bad weather. The Strike Eagle can also be employed with up to an 11-ton payload and can carry the GBU-28 Bunker Buster, a guided bomb developed to destroy strengthened underground bunkers. The Strike Eagle was first deployed in December 1989. During the Gulf War in 1991, 2 squadrons of 48 F-15E Strike Eagles demonstrated their power as multi-purpose fighter\/attack planes. The popular F-15E Strike Eagle (item 60302) was released in 1993. However, since this items release, the F-15E has come to be equipped with a variety of newly developed weapons systems. Following the changes in times and aviation fighting technology Tamiya has modernized its kit to feature accurate replicas of all the latest weapons systems employed by the F-15E Strike Eagle. Includes parts for replication of the GBU-28 \"Bunker Buster\", as well as AGM-130 and JDAM guided bombs, and ARAAM air-to-air…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tamiya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60312\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:32\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 499 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly required.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cement, paint and finishing supplies are sold separately unless the package specifically states otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/plastic-model-kits\"\u003eplastic model kits\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tamiya-diecast-models\"\u003eTamiya models\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53053161144632,"sku":"TAM60312","price":229.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/6049\/2625\/files\/tamiya-132-tamiya-f-15e-bunker-buster-plastic-model-kit-8264658.jpg?v=1790745244","url":"https:\/\/munclemikes.com\/products\/tamiya-boeing-f-15e-strike-eagle-with-bunker-buster-1-32-model-kit-60312","provider":"Muncle Mikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
