1/144 JASDF Blue Impluse Display Team - Doyusha (Dragon)

To celebrate the 50 anniversary of the creation of the "Blue Impulse" Acrobatic Display Team, doyusha are releasing this special 6 aircraft display team.

The stands, must be noted of interest. It it mentioned that with these stands and combination of the aircraft it is possible to recreated all the formaitons of the "Blue Impuse" Actobatic Display Team.
It is though the stands may come with two display height options and with 360 Degree pivoiting heads.

There is no expectation for a Series Special, unless there was a one time historical aircraft? It would be hard to see how you could have special item on this series?

Depending on your view this is either brilliant or formulaic? Probably a very sucessful release in Japan. If they could do this for other Acrobatic Display Teams of the world, it could be cool? RAF Red Arrows, USAF Thunderbirds, Patrouille Suisse, Russian Knights?

Interestingly, this is still a "blind set" series so there will be trading required to get the full set.

Cost: 600 Yen (each Item)
Available: April 2010
