Description

Japan's first indigenous post-war supersonic fighter. This 1:72 scale diecast model captures the Mitsubishi F-1 of the JASDF 3rd Hikotai (Squadron), based at Misawa Air Base in the Aomori Prefecture. Serving with the Northern Air Defense Force, the 3rd Hikotai is easily identified by the iconic "Kabuto" (Samurai helmet) insignia on the vertical tail. This model represents the aircraft as it appeared in the mid-1980s, featuring the distinctive framed windshield inherited from the T-2 trainer and the striking three-tone tactical camouflage used during "Senkyo" TAC (Tactical Air Combat) bombing exercises.

Hobby Master’s Air Power Series is renowned for its precision and high-quality finish. This F-1 release is a must-have for collectors of modern Japanese aviation and Cold War interceptors. The model showcases the aircraft's sleek, dart-like profile and includes detailed underwing stores and rocket pods, making it a standout addition to any 1:72 scale military display.
