Product Description

--The first domestically produced jet trainer, the final appearance of the Air Development and Test Wing
--A plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the T-1B, a jet trainer operated by the Air Development and Test Wing of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on a 1/72 scale.

[About the actual machine]
--The T-1 is the first jet trainer developed in Japan after World War II.
--The Japan Air Self-Defense Force needed a jet aircraft for secondary training aircraft, which was necessary for the postwar pilot training program.
――Therefore, we decided to develop a domestic jet trainer.
――The aircraft developed by Fuji Heavy Industries has a tandem layout seat arrangement, and ambitious design such as adopting a swept wing for the main wing.
--The first prototype succeeded in its first flight in 1958.
--In addition, the domestic turbojet engine, J3, has been completed.
--When mass production at Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries began, the T-1 engine was also converted to the domestic J3.
――The T-1 equipped with this engine was named T-1B, and 20 aircraft were produced and deployed from 1962 to 1963.
――The T-1 ended its role when the successor T-4 was deployed in 1998.
――While retirement is progressing, T-1B, which was operated by the Air Development and Test Wing, also carried out the last flight at Gifu Air Base on March 2, 2006.
――T-1B showed off the last male figure.
――The 810th aircraft that decorated the last flight was a modified aircraft from the T-1A when developing the T-1B, and was the first prototype of the T-1B.
