Product Description

303rd Squadron 50th Anniversary Commemorative Paint Scheme. Special markings reproduced with decals!

[About the actual device]
The main fighter aircraft, the F-15J Eagle, is based on the F-15C of the U.S. Air Force, which began operational deployment in 1974. It has been equipped with features for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, including its own tactical electronic warfare system, J/TEWS, and its own data link system.
Deployment to units began in 1982, and it continues to play a leading role in the air defense of Japan's skies.
At air shows and other events held at bases that operate the F-15J, it's common to see aircraft with special commemorative paint schemes performing demonstration flights.
The F-15J of the 303rd Tactical Fighter Squadron that appeared at the air show held at Komatsu Air Base on September 27, 2026, featured special markings commemorating the squadron's 50th anniversary.
The tanks under the wings bear the numbers 1976-2026, which tell the history of the 303rd Squadron, the nose features a dragon illustration, and there are markings on the tail fin as well.
This was said to be the last aerobatic display by the 303rd Squadron's F-15J at an air show, and it added a spectacular touch to their magnificent appearance.
