McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle Prototype, Hobby Master 1:72 Diecast Model Review HA4597

[@guaporeturns9472]

One of my favorite planes.

In, I think, 1978, an F15 came to Sale FTS where I was working. I also think it was a part of an attempt to get the RAAF to buy them. I got to sit in the cockpit for a few minutes. Wonderful experience.

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Oh wow, that would have been an amazing experience for sure!! A pity the RAAF didn't!! Thanks for watching !!!

YES!!! I was hoping to see an HM F-15E review from you soon, and this one was not a disappointment for me. I love when planes have tons of ordinance onboard, and this certainly qualifies as tons of ordinance. It looks like a mother scorpion with all of the babies on her back...inverted of course. I love that cammo scheme too. Now I know I will be on the lookout for a Strike Eagle. 🤠👍

[@heavymetaldiecast]

It certainly is a burger with the lot this one!!! But does look fantastic!!! Yes the camo is awesome, really suits the F-15 shape!!! Thanks for watching!!! Good luck in your search!!

[@alexandremarcelino7360]

Waw. Esse F-15 é um sonho, lembro que vi pela primeira vez numa foto de uma página de revista! Lembro que ele estava decolando de uma base com todas essas bombas, e eu fiquei impressionado! Agora ele está aí👏👏👏incrível!!! Indo demais.

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Yes this F-15 from HM is fantastic. Carrying so much ordnance it looks amazing!! Thanks for watching!!

[@slizevicius]

Nice plane, and great video review.

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Thank you as always for taking the time to drop past!!

[@jrex9197]

Been eyeballing this model & your review just reminded me why. Love the livery! Would look great next to my F-105 "My Karma" model 🔥🤘

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Haha yes this would sit nicely next to that!! Better snap this one up before they disappear though,haha I reckon these will sell out pretty quick!! Happy hunting and thanks for watching!!

[@RedStarAero]

Bro, you make awesome content on diecast models! Keep 'em coming!

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Thank you so much, really appreciate you being a part of the channel!!

[@MatthewCalabro-m5t]

Wow, this strike eagle all loaded out looks awesome. Bummer I passed up on this one initially…guess I gotta hunt eBay! Great review as always.

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Thank you for dropping past. Yeah she kits out nicely!! Happy hunting on the interwebz for this beast. Hope you manage to snag one for your own collection!!

[@peterhewson3216]

Get out the sanding sticks! One of the things I love about these videos is the alerts you sound over issues so if we buy one we are prepared. Fore warned is fore armed.

[@heavymetaldiecast]

Haha that's it always pays to have some abrasives around...and I don't just mean a grumpy attitude,haha

[@PatriotFalcon]

I’ve got this release, and I like that jungle camo on this F-15 B. This was originated as a B prototype and thus transitioned to the E model. It's very rare to see this color scheme on the F-15's. I also love that massive loadout of those CBUs cluster bombs regarding the front landing gear. I have a solution for you; you can file it down. That should solve the problem. I’ve encountered this problem with various models. I just have a set of files, it just works. By the way, nice review.

[@heavymetaldiecast]

I love the camo as well. It really suits the shape of the Eagle!! I have a nail file and sandpaper that I use to make things fit a little better as well. But I like to do the straight out of the box review so that if there are any small issues, I can make note of them so people can be aware that this could happening their model if they buy the same thing. Thanks again for dropping past and sharing your knowledge with everyone here!! Its always appreciated!!!

[@envygd4902]

Was debating on getting this or JC wings version and I still think I will go the JC route simply because of the added figures and equipment it comes with, much better looking to display but man was this one hard to decide 😅

[@slizevicius]

It's not just the figures that make Jc Wings better. HM F-15 has too many inconsistencies. Jc Wings also has a discrepancy, but it has less...

[@heavymetaldiecast]

I may get the JC version myself. Just to see the difference in how it goes together. Fitment in the HM one was pretty much flawless, went together like a dream you could do it blindfolded. I have had some issues with JC Wings being very inconsistent with fitment. I have a JC Wings Tomcat to open up which is new so that should tell me how they are going with newer releases. The F-16 I opened up recently had a lot of problems!! Thanks for watching!!

[@echodelta2172]

A very cool model with a great paint scheme, too bad the weapons load is monotonous and bulky

[@heavymetaldiecast]

It does look great in this livery. Being a demonstrator aircraft I think that's why it all looks a bring and chunky. Just showing the people with the money how much it can carry to win the contract over that F-16XL,haha!!

[@MarkVersion1]

Where did you get this?

[@heavymetaldiecast]

I had ordered this off a local hobby shop online!!!

[@nilakshandissanayake1379]

This this model just come out ?

[@heavymetaldiecast]

I dont think its very old going by the product number. I only bought it a few months ago brand new.
