--Making a special coating machine to decorate Misawa's F-2A last year
[About the actual machine]
――The F-2 fighter has been in operation since 2000 and is playing an active role as the main fighter of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
--Started development in 1988 as a successor to the support fighter F-1.
――Based on the American masterpiece fighter F-16, the development work was carried out jointly by Japan and the United States in consideration of the operation as a Self-Defense Forces aircraft and the geographical factors of Japan.
――In addition to increasing the main wing area with the aim of improving maneuverability, we have added elements and necessary performance as a Self-Defense Forces aircraft to each part, such as weight reduction by advanced materials and structures, and developed it as a unique aircraft tailored to Japan.
--In addition, the radar can be equipped with an active phased array radar to enable long-range air-to-ship missiles and ASM to be installed and operated, as well as air-to-air radar missiles and air-to-air infrared missiles.
――First deployed to the 3rd Squadron at Misawa Base, and also deployed to the 6th and 8th Squadrons at Tsuiki Air Base, demonstrating its capabilities in Japan's air defense missions.
[About the model]
-The model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the F-2 fighter operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on 1/144 scale.
--Modeled the single-seater F-2A.
――The parts are set for 2 machines and are made of Ftoys, which is easy to assemble.
――The finished total length is about 107mm, and the wingspan is about 77mm. The shape of the aircraft, such as the wing design created jointly by Japan and the United States, has been realistically reproduced.
――The finish is delicate as well as the reproduction of panel lines.
――Since it is a model that is easy to assemble and has a compact finish, it is a good idea to change the markings and make it.
--Marking has been specially painted to decorate the Misawa Last Year that appeared at the Misawa Base Festival on September 8th, following the decision of the 3rd Squadron to leave Misawa and move to Hyakuri in 2019. Two types of normal markings for the aircraft belonging to the 3rd Squadron, which are the same as the markings for Unit 1, are set.
――It is also a good idea to combine it with the SDF Weapon Set (PF-9), which is sold separately, to express a state full of weapons.
