About product

The Mitsubishi F-2A in 1:72 scale from FineMolds

The kit 1:72 JASDF Mitsubishi F-2A represents the particular machine with the serial number 63-8501 in the markings of a test unit of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. FineMolds is a Japanese manufacturer that has long concentrated on domestic subjects, and its aircraft kits in 1:72 are among the carefully worked ones. The manufacturer also makes a sister boxing of the two-seat F-2B version in the markings of the same unit. Check the contents of the package and the number of parts on the box.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi F-2 is a Japanese multi-role combat aircraft derived from the American F-16, developed jointly by the Japanese and American sides. Against its basis it has a markedly larger wing area with extensive use of composites, a reshaped nose and fuselage and different equipment. The powerplant is a single General Electric F110 turbofan engine built under license in Japan. The F-2A version is single-seat, the F-2B two-seat. Machines with serial numbers from the beginning of the run stayed with the test unit, which serves to evaluate armament and equipment; its aircraft tend to be interesting precisely for their prominent test markings.

Building and painting tips

Fit out and finish the cockpit before you close the fuselage, and dry-fit the parts. Glue with thin cement for plastic, sand the seams back and re-engrave any panel lines that have disappeared. Apply a primer before painting. The Japanese naval camouflage of the F-2 is built on two blue-gray tones with a sharp dividing edge — masking tape or putty pays off here, and a soft transition is out of place. Go over the surface with a gloss clear coat before the decals, so that no silvered edges form under them, and even the surface out at the end with a satin clear coat.

Who the model is for

  • Modelers of contemporary combat aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone interested in Japanese aviation
  • Collectors who want a less usual version derived from the F-16 in the display case
  • Builders who pair the single-seat and two-seat versions of the same type

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

FAQ

It has a markedly larger wing area with extensive use of composites, reshaped forward surfaces and different equipment. It came about as a Japanese multi-role aircraft derived from the F-16.

Yes. The F-2A is the single-seat version; the two-seat one is designated F-2B, and the manufacturer makes that as a separate kit.

It is the serial number of the particular machine whose markings the kit represents. The aircraft served with a test unit of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
