I see your point, but kind of strange to not include the Eagles main missile for all of the Cold war period!
This was the heyday of the Eagle force both in the USAF and other users as the IAF. The Aim-7 accounted for almost all of the F-15C Eagles kill during Desert Storm.Without checking the numbers, just by the high kill numbers with the Aim-7 from 1991, I think the Sparrow is still the weapon with most kills for the USAF F-15C fleet.
For me this is about the realism and accuracy for a model, but I understand that others may feel otherwise and see no problem with mixing newer stores on a "older" time period scheme. I will most likely buy this model, so its not about that (the models looks stunning!), just seems very strange to not include what you could argue is the F-15Cs historical main weapon.
