While not nearly as impressive as Gaincorp's Flankers, this F-15D is relatively easy on the eyes. It features a movable canopy and rudders, rolling
wheels, and a side access panel near the nose that opens. The ordnance and gear are fixed. No pilot. Unfortunately, it feels light -- not nearly as much
metal content as you get with Dragon or Witty, and the quality of construction is not as good,either. For example, there are lots of gaps and seams at
various join point on the fuselage assembly, and the nose-access panel, while interesting, is a bit ugly for the same reason. With Dragon and Witty
fielding superior F-15s for less money, there's really no reason to pick this one up. Sorry Gaincorp.
NOT recommended. Dragon comparison here.
