■Product Description
The T-1 trainer aircraft, which appeared as the first domestically produced jet aircraft after the war and trained many pilots, is an extremely important presence in the history of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. One of the aircraft that attracted great attention with its presence symbolizing that history is now available in 1/72 scale. This model replicates the T-1B trainer aircraft with special markings that appeared at Hamamatsu Air Base in Shizuoka Prefecture, the birthplace of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, in 2004, the 50th anniversary of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The special paint scheme applied to aircraft No. 854, belonging to the 1st Technical School at Hamamatsu Air Base, was inspired by three keywords: "Wind and waves of Enshu-nada," "Wings of the first hawk," and "Mt. Fuji and swallows." It was a presence befitting the simultaneous commemoration of the founding of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and the 50th anniversary of the opening of the prestigious school. The model reproduces the impressive coloring with a skillful combination of red and blue using silkscreen decals made by Cartograf of Italy. Aside from the base white paint, most of the coloring is covered with easy-to-apply decals, and of course, the large Mount Fuji painted on the underside of the aircraft is also included. The kit has a well-established configuration that balances ease of assembly with accuracy. This 1/72 kit will allow you to showcase your skills in creating a memorable special paint scheme.
