--One with a fresh blue camouflage !! A multi-material kit that reproduces the C-1, a transport aircraft deployed and operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, on a 1/144 scale.
[About the actual machine]
――The C-1 is a domestic medium-sized transport aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which began to be deployed in 1973.
--Developed by the Technical Research and Development Institute of the Defense Agency and Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation, it first flew in November 1970 and started operation in 1973.
--The engine is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan engines.
--By opening and closing the rear door under the tail, supplies and crew can be accommodated in the cabin.
――45 full-featured paratroopers, 60 normal personnel, and 36 patients can be transported by standing a metal rod on the cargo floor and attaching a stretcher.
-In addition, when mounting vehicles and artillery, it can be placed on a pallet for efficient loading in a short time, and the rear door can be opened and closed during flight, so it can be dropped in the air.
--The payload boasted 8t. In addition, by combining the front edge slats and the 4-step gap fowler flap, it demonstrates high STOL (short-distance takeoff and landing) performance with a runway distance of about 600 m required for takeoff.
――I continued to play an active role in various missions in Japan.
[About the model]
-The model is a multi-material kit that reproduces the C-1 which is a transport aircraft deployed and operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on a 1/144 scale.
――In this kit, the aircraft belonging to the 402nd Squadron at Iruma Air Base is modeled with a special blue camouflage paint to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Air Self-Defense Force.
-The shape of the aircraft with high wing T tail is reproduced realistically with a total length of about 200 mm.
-The parts of the fuselage and wings are resin parts, and it is a multi-material kit that sets metal parts and etched parts for details such as legs and detail expression.
-Achieve a delicate finish by using different materials for each part.
――Not only the shape but also the panel line of the aircraft is delicately expressed, so you can fully enjoy the atmosphere unique to the C-1 transport aircraft.
-The camouflage pattern reproduces the aircraft with bright blue camouflage paint.
