Product Description

- A commemorative painted aircraft with a large decal recreating the cherry blossom illustration on the back
- This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces in 1/72 scale the F-15J Eagle painted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which appeared at the Japan Air Self-Defense Force Komatsu Air Base Air Show on September 23, 2024.

[About the actual machine]
- The main aircraft, the F-15J Eagle, is based on the US Air Force's F-15C, which began deployment in combat in 1974, and is equipped with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's own equipment.
- Equipped with a unique tactical electronic warfare system (J/TEWS) and data link system, it began being deployed to units in 1982.
- It still plays an important role as the mainstay of Japan's air defense.
- At air shows held at bases that operate the F-15J, commemorative painted aircraft are often produced and exhibited.
- At the air show held at the Komatsu Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on September 23, 2024, the 306th Squadron's F-15J was specially painted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.
- This specially painted aircraft attracted a lot of attention for its Japanese-style design, featuring purple, which symbolizes the 70th anniversary (the equivalent of 70 years in human terms), as well as the cherry blossom, Japan's national flower, and the golden eagle, which is both the prefectural bird of Ishikawa Prefecture and the unit mark of the 306th Squadron.
