Academy 12506 - 1/72 F-15C MSIP II '173rd Fighter Wing' Kit Details

The Academy 1/72 F-15C MSIP II model kit gives hobbyists a compact but accurate representation of a key air superiority fighter. The kit reflects the 173rd Fighter Wing scheme, showcasing the distinctive tail markings and period-accurate appearance prized by builders and displayers.

Service Background and Modelling Appeal

The F-15C Eagle earned its reputation from late 1970s service onward, and the MSIP II updates introduced upgraded avionics and weapons handling. This kit focuses on those MSIP II characteristics, allowing modellers to capture the radar housing and external loadouts particular to that upgrade path.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

Designed to suit both newcomers and seasoned builders, the 1/72 scale parts are precision moulded to reproduce aerodynamic details and panel lines. With careful painting and the included decals, the finished model makes a tidy shelf or diorama subject alongside other modern fighters.
