Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1: Builder briefing

The Hasegawa 00333 - 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1 C3 Model Kit offers a faithful 1/72 rendition of the F-1, with crisp panel lines and proportionate surfaces. This kit is aimed at modellers who value accuracy in a small footprint.

Origins and structural highlights

Developed in the 1970s, the Mitsubishi F-1 marked Japan's first homegrown supersonic strike fighter, combining single-seat operation with contemporary avionics of its era. The kit reproduces the airframe shape and control surfaces to help model the aircraft's operational look.

Assembly notes and presentation

Small-scale parts require careful handling and test-fitting. The finished model suits display on a base or within a diorama, where paintwork and decals bring out the subtle surface detail.

Yes, the 1/72 scale fits compact dioramas well. Careful painting and a simple base will complement the model without overwhelming the scene.
The PS plastic is compatible with most hobby paints and weathering washes once primed. A thin primer coat improves adhesion and reveals surface details.
Aftermarket items like resin details or photo-etch sets may be available for this subject. Check specialist suppliers if you want finer cockpit or undercarriage detail.
Use careful sanding, filler sparingly, and apply thin layers of paint. Test-fit parts before gluing to reduce stress and minimise the need for gap filling.
