Trumpeter 01610 Shenyang F-8II Finback-B Modellers Edition  [TP01610]

J-8II Finback-B Overview for Scale Modellers

The Shenyang J-8II Finback-B marked a significant update from its predecessor, adopting a forward fuselage layout with lateral inlets and a solid nose to accommodate a larger fire-control radar system. The type first flew on June 12, 1984, was shown publicly in 1986 and entered service in 1992. The Trumpeter 1:72 kit is aimed at modellers who value historical accuracy and fine surface detail.
