Product Description

This aircraft is attractive for its special paint job that evokes the tropical mood of southern Miyazaki.
This is a 1/72 scale plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the F-15J Eagle painted to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which appeared at the Nyutabaru Air Base Air Festival 2024 held at the Nyutabaru Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force on December 1, 2024.

[About the actual machine]
The flagship aircraft, the F-15J Eagle, is based on the U.S. Air Force's F-15C, which began deployment in 1974, but is equipped with the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's own tactical electronic warfare system, J/TEWS, as well as a similarly unique data link system.
Deployment of the aircraft began in 1982, and it continues to play a key role in Japan's air defense today.
At air shows held at bases that operate the F-15J, it is common to see commemorative painted aircraft made for display flights.
The F-15J that appeared at the Nyutabaru Air Base Air Festival 2024, held at the Nyutabaru Air Base of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force in Miyazaki Prefecture on December 1, 2024, was decorated with markings commemorating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force in 2024.
The 70th anniversary logo on the vertical tail features a sun and phoenix tree design inspired by the tropical city of Miyazaki.
In addition, the tanks under the wing are painted with the marks of the units that have been deployed to Nyutabaru Air Base, representing the history of the base.

[About the model]
The model is based on Platz's 1/72 Japan Air Self-Defense Force F-15J Eagle, which has already received high praise from airplane model fans, and is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the specially painted aircraft commemorating the 60th anniversary of the 204th Squadron's founding that appeared at the Nyutabaru Air Fest 2024 held on December 1, 2024.
The Air Self-Defense Force's 70th anniversary logo, the sun and phoenix tree that symbolize the tropical city of Miyazaki, and the marks of the past units that have stationed at Nyutabaru Air Base are reproduced using Cartograf decals on the vertical stabilizer, as well as the tanks under the wing.
Complete your commemorative painted aircraft with a tropical atmosphere.
Of course, the aircraft's shape is of course impressive, with detailed legs, engine exhaust, and the cockpit all realistically reproduced to create a realistic finish that is not to be missed.
