Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Superb model! That colour scheme is always very striking. I wouldn't say that the Mitsubishi F-1 and T-2 were copies of the Jaguar as such. They were designed for the same role which resulted in them having a similar form. Look at the F-15 and Mig-25. Or the Concorde and Tu-144. In nature this would be called "convergent evolution". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagRigger Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I believe the Japanese were initially very keen on getting Jaguars, but the cost was deemed too high, so they went off and designed their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They share a common engine but that's it. The T-2 was developed as an advanced jet trainer for the JASDF that was then developed into the F-1. The fact that it looks a bit like a Jaguar is purely coincidental and stems from the aircraft having similar roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
