Caracal Models completes their trilogy of ANG Eagle units with this sheet for the 114 FS/173 FW, Oregon ANG based at Klamath Falls. This unit had previously flown the F-16 ADF and before that the F-4C Phantom II. They were the ANG training unit for those two planes and I believe they have kept that task with the Eagle as these are some of the oldest F-15Cs in the fleet.

In line with many other ANG units, the 114th has one plane with full color tail markings that is usually the boss bird for the wing. The other is a standard line bird in the overall low visibility markings. This is probably the most flamboyant set of markings carried by the F-15 since the demise of the USAF FIS units back in the 1990s. These two schemes are from 2011 and 2012 and like all current Eagles, is in the Mod Eagle paint scheme.

These are designed for the Tamiya kit, but may well fit the Revell kit, which is, I believe, the only other 1/32 Eagle kit out there. The decals are superbly printed and provide a full stencil and insignia suite for one aircraft. Instructions are superbly done and provide not only full color and markings guide, but any notes appropriate for each aircraft in terms of mods.

If you have a fondness for really big jet kits, then you should seriously consider this one for your next build.
