Hasegawa 02046 - 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1 Sea Camouflage Dual Set  [HA-02046]

Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1 sea camo dual release

The Hasegawa 02046 twin pack lets enthusiasts build two 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1 examples wearing the characteristic sea camouflage. The kit recreates the aircrafts profile and naval-focused markings, making it suitable for display collectors and modellers who favour accurate Cold War era jets.

Operational background and livery

The Mitsubishi F-1 was produced in the 1970s to provide a homegrown supersonic fighter with strike capability. Its ocean-oriented camouflage was chosen to reduce visual detection over water, underlining the aircrafts primary coastal defence duties. The kit is a compact way to study that chapter of Japanese military aviation.

Assembly approach and paintwork

This Hasegawa 02046 set contains two full assemblies, offering scope to practice painting techniques or build a matched pair. Careful masking and layering are needed to replicate the multi-tone sea camo. Injection-moulded parts are crisp and the instruction guide supports an accurate end result.
