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!

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE, I CAN BUILD YOU ONE WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. OF COURSE YOU CAN ALSO MAKE CHANGES TO THE SIZE, MARKINGS, ETC. You are looking at a one of a kind, hand made F-104 Starfighter inspired fuselage name panel. Ready for you to specify a rank, name and call-sign for me to professionally stencil (any font you like) and paint. My suggestion would be a 2’5 tall matte black background on top, with the pilot’s rank, name and call sign painted in a period correct font in a matte white color. On a side note, what would YOUR call sign have been and what would your spouse think your call sign should be? I can also paint the top portion of the U. AIR FORCE lettering which was particularly large on that jet. Maybe just the top 1/4 of the letters. The panel measures 41″ long and 28.5″ tall. It sticks out a proper 6 from the wall, to mimic the curve of a fuselage. The panel is three pieces of hand polished 5052 series Aircraft Aluminum. Flush riveted with hundreds of solid aircraft rivets. Behind the panel you will see three curved and angled fuselage spars, complete with lightening holes. You will also see Longerons of angle aluminum, Some countersunk rivet holes have been drilled out to make the panel look as if it was removed from an aircraft. The panel features a flush mounted, spring loaded pilot’s step. Just push on the little door, and it opens into the fuselage for the pilot to step up and into the aircraft, then springs back closed as soon as the foot pulls out. I would be more than happy to paint some 3/4 stenciled red lines around the door as there would have been back then. The three RESCUE, Ejection Seat and Rescue opening instruction stickers are New Old Stock, from that era and surprisingly have great adhesive. They are taped down for the photos, so you or I can mount them wherever you like. Of course these jets were made famous by the brave fighter pilots like Check Yeager and all of the’The Right Stuff’ era NASA Astronauts who regularly trained and came from this era of fighter jets. I would be more than happy to add some hydraulic lines, air lines, wiring, etc to give the back of the panel additional realism. This is not really a Man Cave item, more of a high-art, museum piece. If there is anything else you would like me to build for you, I would be happy to. I have made the world’s only hand made Ejection Seat Office Chair, Aluminum Skinned Electric Guitar, B-17 panels, rolling carry on suitcases, you name it, I’m either building it or planning on building it.
