MDD F 15B  EAGLE

The undercarriage struts have been extended in order to free them from the plane weight.

All the details such as scaffoldings, jacks, factory walls and furniture were scratch built.

Characters are Hasegawa; the engine belongs to a scale 1/72 Tomcat heavily modified to ressemble F 100.  The tester and all minor characters belong to the same Hasegawa kit.
