Product Description
- Reproduce the F-15J with the flashy paint job that appeared in Okinawa, the commemorative paint job
[About the actual machine]
- The flagship aircraft, the F-15J Eagle, is based on the U.S. Air Force's F-15C, which first entered combat service in 1974, but is equipped with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's own equipment, including its own tactical electronic warfare system, J/TEWS, and an equally unique data link system.
- Deployment of the aircraft began in 1982, and they continue to play a key role in Japan's air defense to this day.
- At air shows held at bases that operate F-15Js, it is common to see aircraft with commemorative paint jobs made for exhibition flights.
- The F-15J that appeared at the Churashima Air Festival 2024 held at the Naha Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on December 8, 2024, was painted in a special color scheme commemorating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the 9th Air Wing's 204th Squadron.
- The aircraft's bold color scheme, based on the squadron's color red, features an illustration of the unit's mark, a white-tailed eagle, on the back of the aircraft, and it caught the attention of visitors to the event.
[About the model]
- The model is based on Platz's 1/72 Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15J Eagle, which has already received high praise from airplane model fans, and is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the specially painted aircraft commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 204th Squadron's founding that appeared at the Churashima Air Festa 2024 held on December 8, 2024.
- The illustration and lettering of the unit's mark, a white-tailed eagle, painted on the rear of the aircraft, as well as the lettering on the vertical stabilizer and under-wing tanks, are reproduced using Cartograf decals.
- Use your skills to paint the base color of the aircraft to create a flashy commemorative paint job.
- Of course, the aircraft itself is not to be missed, with realistic reproductions of not only its shape, but also the details of the legs and engine exhaust, as well as the cockpit.
