A plastic model that requires assembly and painting. Separate tools, paint, etc. are required.
Product introduction 1/72 scale plastic model. The Kawasaki T-4 is a twin-engine jet trainer for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, with both the aircraft and engine produced domestically. The maneuverability of the aircraft is comparable to that of the F-15. In addition, the XT-4 was developed with a number of new technologies included. Extensive use of composite materials in the aircraft's structural components, adoption of an on-board oxygen generating system (OBOGS), adoption of a digital data bus, adoption of ring laser gyro type AHRS, and the first canopy crushing method in the Air Self-Defense Force. Escape devices, etc. The first XT-4 was rolled out at Kawasaki Heavy Industries' Gifu Plant on April 17, 1985, and made its first flight on July 29 of the same year. After that, after conducting various flight tests using four XT-4s, it was delivered to the Defense Agency. The mass-produced T-4 was deployed to Hamamatsu's 1st Air Wing in 1985, replacing the T-33A. After that, the replacement with the liaison T-33A of each air wing progressed one after another, and the next stage of replacement with the T-1A/B has begun at Ashiya Base 13 Religion. As a result, Air Self-Defense Force pilots will switch from the reciprocating engine trainer T-3 to the jet trainer T-4, and later move on to the F-15DJ and F-2B, resulting in a more streamlined training course. .
