Hasegawa 1 / 48 F-4EJ Kai Super Phantom W / Piece canopy japan NEW

Plastic aircraft model assembly kit (including metal parts) 133 parts. F-4EJ reform is a fighter of the Air Self Defense Force developed from F-4EJ Phantom II.

In 1964, it was decided to adopt it as a successor to the F - 86F, and F - 4 EJ, which began deployment since 1972, has been in operation for more than 20 years, so in order to measure the life extension and capacity of the aircraft, Showa 55 We have been doing research and development since. As a result, in February 1987, we announced a repair plan as F - 4EJ reform. This refurbishment mainly consists of improving fighting ability, adopting the ASIP inspection method, which is a measure to extend the lifespan of the aircraft.

For improvement of combat capability, we installed AN / APG - 66J which modified Westinghouse AN / APG - 66 which uses fire control radar for F - 16 for F - 4 EJ. This radar has been adopted from the reflection point of Mag 25's Hakodate strong landing, it is suitable for searching aircraft flying at low altitude from the sky with a small pulse Doppler radar.

Along with this, I changed the on-board computer from analog to digital computer. As a result, it became possible to integrate the weapon system and it became possible to operate domestically produced ASM - 1 anti - ship missiles.

The navigation equipment has also been changed from analog to digital. Due to digitization of the inertial navigation system, the navigation accuracy has improved dramatically, and it also has a target mark function that can mark up to three target spots.

In addition to this, the radar - alarm device is refurbished as a defensive measure of its own machine, and detailed data is displayed on the cockpit CRT screen. In addition, as a measure to simplify the operation procedure of the pilot, the concept of HOTAS which can perform various operations while holding hands on the control lever and throttle lever is also adopted.

Along with these modifications, we adopted a new head-up display for information processed data, so that the pilot can read the data while facing the front.

The F-4EJ revamp adopted the ASIP fleet management system as the life extension measure of the aircraft. This is a system that can manage the flight record data of each aircraft individually by each computer and manage the fatigue degree of each airframe. With this ASIP system, it will be possible to prolong the life of about 2,000 hours per machine.

Although fighting battle is the main task of F-4EJ reform, since the ground attack is also improving greatly compared to F-4EJ, F-1 of the support fighter aircraft will be retired from now, so F-4EJ reform 1 An individual squadron is going to be in a supporting combat mission.
