Into the FWIW category regarding the tail markings in the kit, LN is for the 48th FW at RAF Lakenheath flying F-15C/D/E (plus points). However, 91-303 is a F-15E Strike Eagle (minus points). Lots of folks would LOVE to model this awesome bird and although externally F-15's are fairly uniform, the E model has two outstanding features - a tandem cockpit and conformal fuel tanks (CFTs). Yes, I know CFTs are detachable but the mission profile of the F-15E has them attached just about universally. But if we keep this little secret, nobody else will know - especially when the F-15 rips by.
