This is a 1/72 scale plastic model.
The Mitsubishi F-2 is a support jet fighter used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The aircraft has two variants: the single-seat A model and the two-seat B model, with the two-seat version primarily used for training purposes.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force has historically relied on the F-15J fighter jet to counter threats from enemy fighters and bombers, and on the F-1 support fighter to defend against threats from ships and tanks. As a successor to the F-1, the F-2 was developed jointly by Japan and the United States.
Initially called FS-X during development, this aircraft is based on the F-16 and incorporates the latest technology. Its external features include a fuselage and main wings that are slightly larger than those of the F-16, a larger radome to house a new radar system, and a three-part canopy designed to handle bird strikes during low-altitude flight. Additionally, the aircraft's various parts, including the wings, utilize Japan's renowned carbon-based composite materials, reducing overall weight.
Furthermore, the F-2 incorporates CCV (Control Configuration Vehicle) technology, reflecting experimental results from the T-2CCV aircraft, and features Japan's first fly-by-wire side stick, ensuring safe and superior flight performance.
The aircraft is equipped with weapons stations located on the wings and fuselage, totaling 11 positions.
