Plastic Aircraft Model Assembly Kit Reproduce the eye-catching orange line of the fuselage! This plastic model assembly kit is a 1/72 scale reproduction of the T-2, which was active as a higher training plane of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. About the actual aircraft:. The T-2 is the advanced training plane that trained many of the Air Self-Defense Force's elite pilots who protect Japan's skies. It was the first supersonic aircraft developed independently in Japan. It made its first flight in 1971, entered service in 1974, and remained in service until 2006. It was powered by two TF40-IHI-801A turbofan engines from Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries. It boasted a maximum speed of Mach 1.6. The T-2 was divided into two types: the early type, which was used for basic combat pilot training without armament, and the late type, which was used for combat pilot training. The T-2 was put into service to train elite pilots to protect Japan's skies. It is said that 1,450 pilots were trained on the T-2 by the time it was decommissioned. The T-2 is a masterpiece that trained many pilots. About the model:. This plastic model assembly kit reproduces the 1/72 scale T-2 advanced training plane of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. This kit is modeled the early model without Vulcan cannon. Each part of the fuselage is detailed down to the panel lines, realistically reproducing the sharp fuselage shape that boasted a speed of Mach 1.6. Of course, not only the exterior of the fuselage. The details inside the double-seat cockpit and even the leg parts have been delicately modeled to enhance the realism of the finished model. The model reproduces the markings of the commemorative paint scheme produced by the 22nd Wing of the 4th Air Wing to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the unit's founding in 1988. The orange band painted on the fuselage and the markings on the tail wing are well prepared with decals. The decals are made by Cartograf. The sharp fuselage shadow of the T-2 and orange markings cannot be missed on the model. In addition, the use of dedicated detail-up parts will further enhance the realism of the model.
