1-144 JASDF Commemorative Schemes Vol.2 - F-Toys

A new set of JASDF Commemorative Schemes, which although look like repaints of previously issued machines actually contains a new mold of the F-4EJ (as stated on the website) - I think that from this statement we can be guaranteed of more F-4EJ releases in the future from F-TOYS
