Hasegawa 1/48 Mitsubishi F-2B: A hands on look at the J.A.S.D.F. support fighter

The Mitsubishi F-2B serves a key support and defence role within the J.A.S.D.F. This Hasegawa 07229 1/48 kit captures the aircrafts lines and systems in miniature, offering modellers a practical project with visibly accurate proportions. The well moulded components make the construction satisfying for those who enjoy detail work and display builds.

Construction highlights and display appeal

Hasegawa has reproduced many of the F-2Bs external features, including sharp panel lines and a compact cockpit layout. Builders who like to add subtle weathering or cockpit rigging will find plenty of opportunity to personalise the finished model. At 1/48 scale the kit sits well alongside other modern military aircraft collections.

Design background and service use

The F-2B was developed in partnership with the United States, blending international systems with Japanese design changes. Its presence in the J.A.S.D.F. reflects its utility for operational support tasks. Modellers can enjoy recreating the blend of modern avionics and airframe detailing in this kit.
