About product

JASDF F-15J Eagle with IRST 1:72 - Platz

A plastic kit model of the upgraded F-15J Eagle fighter of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), fitted with an infrared search and track system (IRST), in 1:72 scale from the Japanese company Platz. It is a different variant from the standard F-15J: the IRST sensor is placed ahead of the cockpit and the model allows the upgraded form to be built with the option of carrying modern air-to-air guided missiles and drop tanks.

The real subject

The F-15J is the Japanese license-built version of the American air superiority fighter F-15 Eagle. As part of an upgrade, the IRST system was tested and deployed on some machines - an infrared sensor placed ahead of the canopy, which allows passive search and tracking of air targets without using the radar. The upgraded machines also carry newer air-to-air armament.

Building and painting tips

Work with thin cement for plastic and an airbrush. The F-15J carries a two-tone gray camouflage, with which panel lines brought out by a fine wash come into their own. Take care over the correct placement of the IRST sensor ahead of the cockpit. Prepare masks for the glazing; seal the decals with a varnish and assemble the underwing armament according to the scheme you choose.

Who the model is for

  • collectors of modern fighters
  • fans of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force
  • anyone interested in the upgraded versions of the F-15
  • modelers working in 1:72 scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
