[About the actual machine]
――The F-2 is an advanced training aircraft that has trained many elite pilots of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force that protects the skies of Japan.
――It was the first supersonic aircraft originally developed in Japan.
――First flight in 1971, operation started in 1974, and was active until 2006.
--The engine is equipped with two TF40-IHI-801A turbofan engines from Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries.
--The maximum speed was Mach 1.6.
――It was divided into the early type used for the training of the basic combat maneuvering course without armament and the late type used for the training of the subsequent combat maneuvering course, and the late type was also equipped with cannons.
――The T-2, which has been put into operation, is active in training elite pilots who protect the skies of Japan.
――It is said that 1450 pilots grew up in T-2 by the time they retired.
――It is a masterpiece that has raised many pilots.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit of Platts' 1/72 Air Self-Defense Force T-2 advanced training aircraft, which has already been highly evaluated by airplane model fans.
-Modeled the late model used in the more practical fighter flight course.
――This kit includes one resin figure of the pilot that fits in the cockpit of the aircraft.
--Mr. Takeichiro, who is familiar to model fans, made the prototype.
――Open the canopy and show the cockpit pilot's brave figure with your arms to improve the details, or close the canopy and express the tension of takeoff.
――Of course, each part of the fuselage is reproduced in detail up to the panel line, and the sharp fuselage shape is realistically reproduced.
-The cockpit on which the pilot figure rides is also modeled in detail.
――Tighten the finish with the reproduction of the legs.
――It is a kit that you should definitely leave in the collection of SDF fans with the elite pilots who protect the Japanese sky.
