About product

Freedom Model Kits 1:48 ROCAF F-CK-1D — plastic kit

An injection-molded plastic kit of the two-seat F-CK-1D fighter in service with the Republic of China Air Force, in 1:48 scale from the Taiwanese brand Freedom Model Kits. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted; besides the plastic sprues the package holds photo-etched parts and a decal sheet. The two-seat version has a lengthened canopy and a second station, so it is a little more work to build than the single-seat variant.

The real subject

The F-CK-1 Ching-kuo, also referred to as the Indigenous Defense Fighter, was created in Taiwan as an answer to difficult access to foreign combat aircraft. It is a light supersonic twin-engined machine. The two-seat form serves for pilot conversion and training but remains combat capable. The letter D denotes the modernized form of the two-seat version with revised avionics. The aircraft is still one of the pillars of the Taiwanese fighter force.

Building and painting tips

Finish and paint the cockpit before you close the fuselage — on the two-seat version far more of the interior is visible than on the single-seater. It pays to mask the lengthened glazing with die-cut masks, as cutting tape by hand is tedious here. Glossy gray camouflage calls for a perfectly prepared surface, so sand the joints carefully and use a primer. Spray a gloss clear coat before the decals, then unify the sheen over the whole airframe.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers of modern jet fighters
  • Collectors who want both the single-seat and the two-seat version as a pair
  • Builders with experience of multi-part cockpits and photo-etched parts
  • Anyone interested in less common Asian military equipment

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

FAQ

The D version is two-seat, with a lengthened canopy and a second station. The C version is single-seat. These are two separate kits.

It serves above all for training and pilot conversion, but in design terms it remains combat capable.

According to the manufacturer's catalog, photo-etched parts and a decal sheet. Paints and glue are not included.

Sand the joints carefully, spray a primer and apply the paint in thin coats with an airbrush. Gloss brings out every irregularity.
