Product Description

- The T-4's eye-catching markings, including the 70th anniversary lettering on the vertical stabilizer, are not to be missed.
- This is a two-aircraft plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the T-4 Air Self-Defense Force 70th Anniversary Painted aircraft of the 31st and 32nd Squadrons that appeared at the 2024 Air Fest Hamamatsu at Hamamatsu Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.

[About the actual machine]
- The T-4 is a subsonic jet aircraft developed by Japan as a successor to the T-33A trainer, and is an intermediate trainer for Air Self-Defense Force pilots who have completed their primary training in propeller aircraft and wish to move on to jet fighter training.
- A new transonic wing design has been adopted to ensure stable flight from low to high speeds (transonic speeds).
- Due to its stable flight performance, it has been deployed to various units of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force since 1988, and is also used by the acrobatic flying team, Blue Impulse.
- In 2024, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Air Self-Defense Force, commemorative painted aircraft appeared at air shows at each base.
- At the Air Festa Hamamatsu, a festival held on October 27, 2024, a T-4 with a special paint job featuring eye-catching orange and red stripes was unveiled, attracting a lot of attention.
