ACADEMY PLASTIC HOBBY MODEL KIT 1/48 F-15C MSIP II Limited Edition

The Multi-Stage Improvement Program (MSIP) is a joint program carried out by McDonnell Douglas(now Boeing) and the USAF. MSIP II is that portion of the program which handles the F-15C/D. The major part of MSIP II is to fit the APG-70 radar and the AIM-120 AMRAAM. The ECM equipment was improved, with ALR-56C RWR, ALQ-135B internal ECM system, and enhanced ALQ-128 being introduced.
The first MSIP II aircraft was F-15C 84-001, first flown on June 20, 1985. MSIP II was still underway at the time of the Desert Storm of 1991, and the AIM-120 was not yet ready for combat use. However, MSIP II F-15Cs were quickly despatched to the Gulf, and during the war they achieved an impressive kill ratio against Iraqi aircraft. After the Persian Gulf War, F-15C MSIP II operated in East Europe during Operation Allied Force, Afghanistan in Operation Enduring Freedom, Iraq in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
