60312 F-15E Strike Eagle Bunkerbuster - Tamiya 1/32  [60312]

In regards to the Boeing F-15E Strike Eagle w/"Bunker Buster"

The McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle are considered probably the most capable twin-engine air-superiority fighters nowadays. Since its maiden journey in July 1972, this record breaking Mach 2.5 fighter is a yardstick for jet fighter design. To the very early 1980's, the Air Force asked for McDonnell Douglas to change their F-15 fighter into a dual-role aircraft to be known as F-15E "hit Eagle" to be used as an air-to-air fighter, and for environment to ground assault missions. This amazing variation was in fact built to penetrate profoundly into enemy territory unescorted, and hit army objectives with pinpoint accuracy. The hit eagle employs two extremely dependable Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 devices and ended up being produced especially as a two-person team of pilot and tools system officer. The LANTRIN (minimal Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infra-Red for Night) system enables the Strike Eagle to work during the night and in poor weather. The Hit Eagle may also be used with around an 11-ton payload that can carry the GBU-28 Bunker Buster, a guided bomb developed to destroy strengthened underground bunkers. The Strike Eagle finished up being implemented in December 1989. Through the Gulf War in 1991, 2 squadrons of 48 F-15E Strike Eagles demonstrated their energy as multi-purpose fighter/attack planes.
