Between June and September 2023 the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) will celebrate its 55th anniversary. At the National Day Parade the RSAF will put on an enhanced aerial display showcasing their aircraft with markings honoring their humble beginnings in 1968 until present day. The logo for the anniversary is the number 55 with a shape of its first aircraft; a Hawker Hunter emerging from the bottom with an F-15SG in a vertical climb representing the RSAF journey through 55 years up to today and the future.

Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force.

Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-15 is produced with a high metal content using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The model features near seamless construction as seen on all Hobby Master products, and this is particularly evident with the tight-fitting conformal fuel tanks present on the F-15E variant. Separate open and closed canopy and speed brakes are included, yielding uncompromising detail that functional hinges would lack at this scale. Other fine features include a detailed cockpit interior, a variety of ordnance and drop tanks appropriate to the paint-scheme and landing gear that constructed as completed subassemblies for easy installation.
