- Precise reproduction of characteristic aircraft design that eliminated vertical tail, horizontal tail wing!
[About actual machine]
- In 1985, YF - 23 was developed based on the development plan of the next generation tactical fighter aircraft proposed by the US Air Force, advanced tactical fighter plan ATF (Advanced Technical Fighter).
- It was adopted in 1986, development started. Adopted aircraft design with emphasis on stealth performance.
- Lost horizontal tail and vertical stabilizer was also a big feature.
- Two aircraft were manufactured as a prototype, but two engines were installed in Pratt & Whitney, the engine of Unit 1, and two General Electric engines in Unit 2, respectively.
- First flight was completed in August 1990, various tests were carried out, but it did not come to recruitment but only trial production was completed.
[About the model]
- The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduced YF - 23 manufactured as a prototype of the next - generation machine on 1/72 scale.
- Precise modeling of characteristic aircraft design that eliminated vertical tail and horizontal tail fin. The main body of the aircraft is represented by a part configuration in which the simple shape is suppressed by dividing the upper and lower parts into two parts.
- Panel line is also well reproduced, enhancing the reality of the finish.
- The cockpit also modeled the details of the side console in a unitary bathtub part. A fine painted finish is a place to show the arm.
- The leg parts are also subjected to delicate reproduction, tightening the feet.
