Product Introduction
FineMolds 1/72 Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15J Fighter Jet Hot Scramble 1984 Early Specification Plastic Model Kit FP50
Developed as a successor to the F-4 as a large air superiority fighter, the F-15, which made its first flight in the United States in 1972, became the representative fighter jet of the US Air Force for half a century, starting from the Cold War.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force also deployed the F-15J, which was domestically produced through knockdown/license production, as its main fighter jet from December 1981.
From July 1984, it was mainly used for alert missions against unidentified aircraft violating Japanese airspace, and repeatedly carried out high-priority "hot scrambles" amidst the heightened tensions of the Cold War.
FineMolds has designed and built this new kit of a Japan Air Self-Defense Force jet fighter, following the F-4EJ and F-2A/B, further pursuing the enjoyment of assembly and reproducing the shape and details based on thorough research of the actual aircraft.
Holding this kit in your hands will reveal new insights into the aircraft's form.
This kit also reproduces the "iris cover," which was installed on early deployment aircraft to protect the engine's variable nozzles and improve airflow.
Decals are included to reproduce the markings of the 202nd Squadron (Nyutabaru Air Base, Miyazaki Prefecture) and the 203rd Squadron (Chitose Air Base, Hokkaido).
