Description: Hobby Master 1:72 Air Power Series HA4528 Mitsubishi F-15DJ Eagle Diecast Model JASDF Hiko Kyodotai, #92-8068, Nyutabaru AB, Japan, 2013Limited EditionRare and Collectible 1:72 Scale Length WidthMitsubishi F-15DJ Eagle 10.75" 7.25" The JASDF (Japan Air Self-Defense Force) Hiko Kyodotai (Tactical Fighter Training Squadron) is a dedicated aggressor squadron based at Nyutabaru Air Base in Miyazaki Prefecture. The unit provides air combat training for most of the JASDF's combat units. Something of an elite unit, the Hiko Kyodotai predominately operates the two-seat Mitsubishi F-15DJ Eagle, although some single seat F-15Js are also on strength. Most of the F-15s are painted in very colourful camouflage schemes, with each aircraft seemingly carrying unique colours. Aircraft of the Hiko Kyodotai regularly deploy to bases throughout Japan, in order to assist in the training of the regular squadrons. Mitsubishi F-15DJ Eagle Designed to meet US Air Force requirements for an air superiority fighter to replace the F-4 Phantom, the F-15 Eagle first flew on July 27, 1972. Following reviews of proposals, the United States Air Force selected McDonnell Douglas's design in 1969 to meet the service's need for a dedicated air superiority fighter. Since entering service in 1976, it is among the most successful modern fighters, with over 100 victories and no losses in aerial combat, with the majority of the kills by the Israeli Air Force. Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc. Hobby Master's 1:72 scale F-15 is produced with a high metal content using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques. The model features near seamless construction as seen on all Hobby Master products, and this is particularly evident with the tight-fitting conformal fuel tanks present on the F-15E variant. Separate open and closed canopy and speed brakes are included, yielding uncompromising detail that functional hinges would lack at this scale. Other fine features include a detailed cockpit interior, a variety of ordnance and drop tanks appropriate to the paint-scheme and landing gear that constructed as completed subassemblies for easy installation.
