I made this model for someone in the 492 FS at RAF Lakenheath. At the time of photographins, the base hadn't been varnished - nor the Squadron badge stuck down. The kit is build OOB, apart from the decals which came from Astra, and were kindly given to me by Will Snuggs.
Also a big thanks to Andy Abbott and Roy McKay, for sending me the Aim-120's and the Pilot figures. Finally, a huge thank-you to Ken Middleton, who sent me the weapon racks for a current spec F-15E, and also the Plastic Rod and the brass tubing needed to make the model "in flight" as it is on the base. Without these people, the model wouldn't be what it is now. Many thanks again guys. I hope you all enjoy seeing the model, Daniel Butcher
