Why this kit matters

The Mitsubishi F-2B is a two-seat variant of Japan’s F-2 fighter, developed jointly with the United States as a multirole platform based on the F-16 design. It serves with the Japan Air Self-Defence Force in both training and operational roles, combining air defence and maritime strike capability.

The A.D.T.W. (Advanced Development Test Wing) configuration represents experimental and evaluation use within Japan’s defence aviation development programme. The inclusion of the ASM-3 missile reflects Japan’s ongoing advancement in long-range anti-ship strike capability, designed for modern maritime security requirements.

How to use it

Build using plastic cement, modelling nippers, and fine brushes for detailing. Paint is required for JASDF camouflage, markings, and missile detailing. Display as part of a modern Japanese air power or test aircraft collection.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
