1/144 JASDF F-2A with Weapon Set - Platz 

( This is a machine translation. Please allow for possible misinterpretations in the text. )

 
This item is limited to 3 per household.
--Set two ASM-1, AAM-3, and AIM-9L missiles on one F-2A !!

[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.
――The technologies of the United States and Japan were fused, and 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.

--Based on the American masterpiece fighter F-16, the main wing area has been increased with the aim of improving maneuverability, and weight reduction has been achieved with advanced materials and structures.

--In addition, the radar is equipped with an active phased array radar to enable the on-board operation of long-range air-to-ship missiles and ASM, as well as air-to-air radar missiles and air-to-air infrared missiles.

--The engine is equipped with one F110-GE / IHI-129 that exerts great thrust.
――The maximum speed is said to be about Mach 2.0.
――It is deployed at the Air Self-Defense Force bases all over Japan and is playing an active role in protecting the sky in Japan.

[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.

--In this set, the missiles operated by the F-2 are set.
--Air-to-ship missile ASM-1 (Type 80 anti-ship guided missile), AIM-9L (Sidewinder missile), and AAM-3 (Type 90 air-to-air guided missile) are set.

-The aircraft uses Ftoys parts that are easy to assemble.
――The total length of the finished product is about 10 cm, and the wingspan is about 7 cm.
――The wing design created by the joint development between Japan and the United States is realistically reproduced.
――The finish is delicate as well as the reproduction of panel lines.

-A pylon equipped with missiles under the wings is also available, and the appearance of equipping them can be expressed with plenty of power.

-Marking is set with decals.

-In addition to the markings on the aircraft, the markings such as the data drawn on the missile are also reproduced firmly.

――In addition, a marking depicting the colorful prototype No. 1 Shark Mouse (2014) is also included. I'm looking forward to how to finish it.

1/144 Wonderfest 2012 Show Specials - Platz

 
 


1/144 Wonderfest 2012 Show Specials - Platz/F-Toys
Not withstanding how "special" these specials are, on the basis at least two out of the three, if not all have been previously released at previous shows - the "special" nature is linked to the short production run leading to limited availability after the show days. However keep an eye on ebay and som of the smaller sites and these may appear....

Needless to say, these are all part of the cool Area-88 Series, that overall has not seem a full reissue for some years (BAe/Blackburn Buccaneer anyone!?) At least any additional decals are proper Cartograf decals!

F-8 Crusader (1,000 Yen)
F-35J Saab Drakken (1,800 Yen)
A-4 Sky Hawk (1,000 Yen)
F-2A (1,800 Yen) - Warning, this may be the 2010 reissue!?
