NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center at Edwards has flown F-15s for decades as research platforms and chase aircraft. For America's 250th anniversary in 2026, F-15 N885NA was dressed in a stars-and-stripes "Freedom 250" scheme.

Hobby Master captures the celebration livery in 1:72 die-cast, with the star-covered fuselage, red striping and NASA "meatball" on the tail. It makes a natural pair with the matching NASA F-18, HA35001.
