About The F-15E Strike Eagle
Developed from the McDonnell Douglas F-15 air-superiority fighter, the F-15E Strike Eagle was created in the early 1980s as a true dual-role platform, able to penetrate deep into hostile airspace and deliver precision strikes. Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 engines and crewed by a pilot and weapons system officer, it employs the LANTRIN system for low-altitude navigation and targeting at night and in poor weather. Its payload capacity enables it to carry heavy munitions such as the GBU-28 Bunker Buster for hardened targets.
About The Model

Tamiya has modernised the tooling to include newly developed weapons systems, alongside clever engineering touches that allow key panels and control surfaces to be posed after assembly. The result is an impressive representation of the F-15E that showcases cockpit, radar and weapons bay detail to great effect.

About the Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle w/"Bunker Buster"
The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle is regarded as one of the most capable twin-engine air-superiority fighters in the world today. 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 & 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.
