You can tell where the F-15 Eagle got it's heritage from Ed.

I did a Kangnam Vigilante in the past. I guess that one was reverse engineered from this Hasegawa kit. Good work on it! Pity that your decal cracked.

Not to worry. Have another one enroute from a friend who is building the kit with custom decals for his uncle's plane.
