About the actual aircraft
The main fighter aircraft, the F-15J Eagle, is based on the US Air Force's F-15C, which began operational deployment in 1974, and has been equipped with unique equipment by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. It is equipped with its own tactical electronic warfare system, J/TEWS, and its own data link system. It began deployment to units in 1982 and still plays a main role in the air defense of Japan's skies. At air shows at bases that operate the F-15J, it is common to see commemorative painted aircraft being produced and flown. In 2023, after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, air shows across the country resumed one after another, attracting many aviation enthusiasts. At the Chura-jima Air Festa held at the Naha Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on December 10, 2023, the 9th Air Wing's F-15J was presented with a commemorative paint scheme that included illustrations of Shisa (Okinawan lion-dogs) on its tail and fuel tanks. At the air show, it participated in a tug-of-war with the attending fans, adding to the excitement of the event.
About the Model
This model is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the commemorative painted aircraft that appeared at the Chura-jima Air Festa 2023 held at the Naha Air Base on December 10, 2023, based on Platz's 1/72 Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15J Eagle, which has already garnered high praise from airplane model fans.
The illustrations of Shisa, unique to Okinawa, painted on the left and right vertical stabilizers, and the illustrations painted on the fuel tanks under the wings are faithfully reproduced with large decals. The decals are made by the high-quality Italian company Cartograf. Of course, the reproduction of each part of the aircraft is already highly regarded by modelers. The markings unique to commemorative painted aircraft further enhance its appeal. Platz offers a wide lineup of special and commemorative painted aircraft that have appeared at various air shows at bases. It would be fun to build and collect them all. Also, if you use the separately sold dedicated detail-up parts when assembling, the finished product will be even more realistic. ■Product Specifications Manufacturer: Platz Item No: AC-87 Size: Approx. 260mm in length Scale: 1/72 JAN: 4545782106053 ■Notes ・Release date, price, product name, etc. may change without notice.
