F15 Eagle Fighter Jet Replica Fuselage Awards Panel

You are looking at a custom built, F-15 Eagle Fighter Jet inspired Awards Panel for the US Air Force. Squadrons and Air Wings get an annual budget for Awards Panels to motivate their personnel and show appreciation for hard work. This is one of the F-15 panels that I have built for the Air Force and the size and price reflects what is easily approved within the budget set by the Air Force.

Specifications: The panel is custom made from .063″ thick aircraft sheet aluminum and measures 8 feet long and 4 feet tall. It includes 7 formers that are 4″ thick, giving the panel an impressive look on any wall. The Formers run at 4” for 2/3 of the height. But the bottom starts to curve to nearly zero by the time it reaches the bottom to match the contour of the real jet. The Longerons are all riveted to the panel with over 700 real aviation flush rivets which are visible under the gray paint. This panel is so realistic that one squadron who saw another one of my panels asked where I source the panel before laser cutting the openings for 5×7 photos of awarded airmen. All identifiers of ‘Pilot if the Year’ etc are stencil painted onto the ones, they are not simply stickers. Pneumatic and electrical hardware accentuate the proper green colored electronics bay and also feature 12 volt LED service lighting. Transformer for EL glow panels and work lights are included, as well as a timer that shits everything down when your building is not occupied.

Its all SCRATCH BUILT! Additional details like illuminated Glow Panel (The Air Force calls them Slime Lights), Antenna add to the realism. The Air Wing or Squadron’s nose art and F-15 markings, serial number, etc are all painted on.

This particular panel has a collapsible telescoping ‘Bean Stock Boarding Ladder’ that deploys, that would cost extra, this ad is for a regular panel

I can build panels to look like they came off a B-52 Bomber, F/A-18 Hornet, F-16 Falcon, KC-135, U-2 or any aircraft you fly. I have over 75 aviation inspired items listed, and can scratch build just about anything, so take a look around and let me know if there is anything I can build to reward your hard working Airmen!

I do not charge to build a shipping crate and do not charge to transport to a freight company or to Nellis Air Force Base, who you may be able to arrange shipment if you have a connection over there. I am located in Las Vegas, Nevada and can transport myself within reasonable distances.

Baby pictured is my Niece and not included, but she wants you to buy a panel so I can keep a roof over my head and take her out for Ice Cream!
