Hasegawa 1/72 Japan Air Self-Defense Force Kawasaki T-4 Plastic Model D12
1/72 scale plastic model.
The Kawasaki T-4 is a twin-engine jet trainer developed with both airframe and engine domestically produced for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. Its airframe maneuverability is comparable to that of the F-15.
The XT-4 incorporated numerous new technologies during its development, including:
* Extensive use of composite materials for airframe structural members.
* Adoption of an On-Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS).
* Adoption of a digital data bus.
* Adoption of a Ring Laser Gyro type Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS).
* The first canopy fragmentation type ejection system in the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
The first XT-4 prototype rolled out of Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Gifu factory on April 17, 1985, and made its first flight on July 29 of the same year. Subsequently, after conducting thorough flight tests using four XT-4 aircraft, they were delivered to the Japan Defense Agency.
Production model T-4s were deployed to the 1st Air Wing in Hamamatsu in fiscal year 1988, replacing the T-33A. Following this, the replacement of T-33As used for liaison duties in various air wings progressed sequentially, and the replacement of T-1A/Bs at the 13th Training Wing at Ashiya Air Base has also begun. This transition allows Japan Air Self-Defense Force pilots to move from the T-3, a primary trainer with a reciprocating engine, to the T-4 jet trainer, leading to a streamlined training course that progresses to the F-15DJ and F-2B.
