(First HM single-seater F-15)

McDonnell Douglas F-15J Eagle 62-8866 c/n 066 was procured by the Nihon Koku Jietai (Japanese Air Self Defense Force, or JASDF) in 1986 and assigned to the 204th Hikotai. The JASDF initially acquired 88 F-15J’s beginning in July 1981. In 1984 the 204th was the third squadron to be equipped with the F-15 replacing the F-104J’s they had been flying since 1964. Early in 2009 the 204th Hikotai moved to Naha, Okinawa trading bases with the 302nd Hikotai that moved their F-4EJ’s to the former 204th base at Hyakuri.
HM did a fantastic job with this release, what I love most about their JASDF releases are the details. You can see a LOT of little tampo printing all over the model. Granted not a lot of people (especially here in the western market) don't have a Japanese collection like I do, but I do like the colors and that big red meatball Japanese logo - it really stands out in the collection. It joins up with the rest of my JASDF collection including the F-2A/B, F-4s, F-104, F-1/T2 and T-4. The seam line is barely visible on the model - it was a tight fit but I did put one layer of glue/paint just to make it look better. Here is the review of the latest F-15 by HM and the very first single-seater variant.
