Repaint of the Razbam F-15E as the prototype F-15DRF (Dual Role Fighter), a precursor to the F-15E.
F-15 No. 71-0291 was first flown on October 18, 1973 being the second two-seater Eagle under the designation of TF-15A. She was a McDonnel-Douglas and USAF test aircraft. In 1974, she took part in the Farnborough Air Show and conformal fuel tanks tests. On December 1, 1977, the designation was changed to F-15B.
In 1979, she was rebuilt into the F-15DRF (Dual Role Fighter) demonstrator of the F-15E Strike Eagle and flown again on July 8, 1980. She got green-gray European One scheme. In the years 1981-1984 she took part in the ETF (Enhanced Tactical Fighter) program, to select the successor of the F-111 and F-4. She defeated the F-16XL in it. At the end of the 1980s, she was used in various systems testing for the F-15E.
Includes both a recreation of the not-quite-Euro-One scheme as well as a more classic weathered Euro One.
The external fuel tanks and LANTIRN pylons do not match quite right because we don't have access to their respective paint kits yet. Also the roundels aren't quite right but I'm lazy and didn't want to edit the roughmet to make them perfect.
