Hasegawa 1/72 Japan Air Self-Defense Force Mitsubishi F-1 Plastic Model C3
1/72 scale plastic model.
The Mitsubishi F-1 is a support fighter for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, developed from the T-2 trainer aircraft. It was Japan's first domestically produced supersonic jet fighter, with development beginning in 1972 and procurement starting in fiscal year 1975. The decision was made to modify the T-2 trainer aircraft, which was in operational use at the time, into a fighter, and development of the FS-T2改 (later F-1) began. For this purpose, production aircraft No. 106 and No. 107 of the T-2 were completed as specially modified T-2 aircraft for flight testing, and various system and flight tests were conducted. Based on the results of these various tests, the Minister of National Defense approved its use by units on November 14, 1976, and at the same time, the official name was changed from FS-T2改 to Support Fighter F-1. The F-1 began deployment in fiscal year 1977, sequentially replacing the F-86F in the 3rd and 8th Air Squadrons at Misawa Air Base, and the 6th Air Squadron at Tsuiki Air Base. Although the F-1 is a support fighter, it is also used as an interceptor in operational scenarios.
