 1/72 Gemini Jets RoKAF F15K Slam Eagle, 11th FW, Taegu AB, South Korea

Good Morning Guys, New and the first one Kpop Fighter Aircraft in my hold right now. The unseen brand from Gemini Jets that gave me the RoKAF F15K Slam Eagle, 11th FW, Taegu AB, South Korea. The F-15K Slam Eagle is an advanced derivative of the F-15E, operated by the Republic of Korea Air Force. Several major components were outsourced to various Korean companies as part of an offset agreement, wherein Korea was responsible for 40% of production and 25% of assembly. In 2002, ROKAF selected the F-15K for its F-X fighter program, during which the F-15K, the Dassault Rafale, the Eurofighter Typhoon and Sukhoi Su-35 were evaluated. A total 40 aircraft were ordered with deliveries beginning in 2005. On 25 April 2008, the Korean government announced the order of second batch of 21 F-15Ks, worth 2.3 trillion Korean won (US$ 2.3 billion). Aircraft of second batch differs from the first batch in having Pratt & Whitney F100-PW-229 (EEP) engines, license-produced by Samsung Techwin, for commonality with the KF-16 fleet. Republic of Korea Air Force has received 50 F-15Ks by June 2011.
