In honor of Nebraska's transition to the "West Coast" offense, I decided to get a little creative with this otherwise dreadful model of an F-15. Seriously folks, if you see this offering of the F-15 in any hobby store, no matter what the price is (I paid $6.99, which was too much) steer clear. Enough of the verbal kit bashing. There was a poster that was sold by the NU athletic dept. showing our mascot flying an F-15 loaded with footballs. And a few weeks into the season we had four F-15s fly over the football stadium before the game. So it got me thinking. I decided to turn this awful kit into the Nebraska Football air force of one. I made my own decals with Testors paper, which I do not really recommend, spend a little more on some higher quality paper. I turned the grey scheme used on many F-15s into a red scheme. Originally I was toying with the idea of doing all red with white lightning down the back, but this looks good I think. I put the "Blackshirts" Skull on the tail wings. The "Blackshirts" is the name of our defense, and the "bones" are big around here. I also included a Colorado License Plate on one of the rear stabilizers. It says "NU Owns". And this year we did own Colorado. Any way, hope you enjoy it, and if you're not a Husker fan build one for your team!
