McDonell Douglas F-15C Eagle
History
The F-15C Eagle was a 4th Generation Air-Superiority Fighter Aircraft designed by McDonell Douglas. It closely rivals the Soviet counterpart, Sukhoi Su-27, what lacks in its manueverability makes up with its deadly weaponries and avionics. It is a force to be reckoned with.

Outro
My first Jet aircraft build, and a 4th one at that too. Though if you ask me, the F-15 looks the easiest to build out of all the 4th Gen aircrafts lol.
Anyways, this is my entry for the Cold War Challenge, originally supposed to be the F-100D Super Sabre, but i instead went for this one. You could also say this is a commemorative build for my SP account reaching 20K points.
Anyways, credits to ZeroWithSlashedO on his F-15S/MTD Eagle where i basicly got the Landing Gears from.
The build is also a bit rushed (missing Canopy frame, some more nav light, airbrake, cockpit interior, etc.) because im about to get busy, aswell as nearing maximum part count of 450.
Oh btw, some details are thanks to Ace Combat 7, wouldnt have been possible if i didnt buy that game during the steam sale. xD

Maybe ill give it the missing details including the airbrake at a later time, one that is seperate from the challenge entry build.
@WinsWings tagging Challenge Host
@KingOfTypos ok
@AceAckermann its Razorback Fuselage is a bit tricky to do. You can already see it in my Corsair build and maybe the Spitfire, its the reason why i picked a Bubble Canopy Thunderbolt for my build. So its kinda in the low priority. Though it does look nice, So ill consider it, if not, the Bearcat.
F6F Hellcat?
@KingOfTypos this is like the best plane here though
Lovely
Very nice
@Planebuilder2123 neither will i though. I just treated it as a test bed for myself on finally making a jet aircraft, since im a single prop builder.
@KingOfTypos yep I'm definitely not winning
