Hasegawa suggests some green (fs34102).... I can only find light grey/ white one on the net.... could all be training missiles though! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Type_80_ASM-1 Edited October 18, 2019 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having had a look on the net and in my references Werner from what I can tell they seem to be either white (still not sire if they are live rounds) or light grey with dark grey tips as in this link; https://www.vaq136.com/misawa/misawa-268b.jpg This is the page it is from; https://www.midwaysailor.com/photos/mitsubishi-f1.html Andy (Rad Dot) might not be able to answer your question as he is actually travelling to Japan, on an aviation tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums thanks Jun, grey it is then! some tedious masking on the stabs... did not cover all the different shades the first time.... and of course top an bottom are not the same... and I tested the first HASEGAWA decals! a bit strange and not fully covering it seems... but that is what I have! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Very nice work Werner, those stabs look like hard work but well worth the effort. Decals look like they will work well and those missiles look good in their grey colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 thanks everybody! decaling mostly done! 204 of Misawa based 3rd squadron ~ 1987 any idea what a RL-4 is, see pic below: RL could of course mean rocket launcher..... https://www.vaq136.com/misawa/misawa-265b.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Nice job on the decals Werner, love the Samurai head unit marking. I believe the "RL" in RL-4 does indeed stand for Rocket Launcher, and the RL-4 is an indigenous design and I'm not sure if it has been produced in kit form yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked both 1/48 & 1/72 Hasegawa JASDF Sets neither carry one. It seens to be an indigenous made pod using the Hydra 70 2.75” Folding fin aerial rocket. I checked around but thats all i could dig up on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you come across this walkaround before Werner? https://ninetalis.com/walkarounds/aircraft/mitsubishi-f1-jasdf/ A bit late for the interior but some nice shots of the undercarriage and the outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 not to be forgotten: this guy here! Hasegawa Sidewinders look ok, hope I find some decals later Reskit nozzles also need gluing... not only painting! and pylons and some weathering: we are getting somewhere here! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 That looks really good Werner I really like the engine nozzles and the metallic effect on the rear fuselage. Looks like she should be ready for the deadline on Sunday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
