Recommended Posts

Hi all,

my latest Kit is this Hasegawa F-2A in 1:48. Nice "big F-16" in typical Hasegawa style. Add a Master Pitot, Eduard PE`s, Aires ACES II seat and a Wolfpack nozzle. Decals are by Afterburner (48-064)

Very nice. Is it actually an F16? Is it made under license in Japan? 

It is based on the F-16.  It has a lengthened fuselage, bigger wing, Japanese avionics, and built by Mitsubishi in Japan.

 

Mathy, outstanding build!  Not gunna lie, I thought the first two pics were the real thing!  What did you use for the blues?  They can be quite tricky to get right, but yours look spot on.

This isn't model making.  This is art.  Beautiful  The Japan should be commended for being one of the few nations which still has attractive schemes on its combat aircraft.

What a pleasure to see a F-2!

Yours is very well done and two blues camouflage is exactly what it should be.

Do you remember wich color paints did you use?

Nice build !

Lolo

Lolo,

Unfortunatly no. First I try Gunze H54 and H56 as Hasgawas painting manuel says. But this colours are not the right ones. So I mixed a lot of  "new blues" until I got the right ones. But I can not remember the mixture😬

Gunze has a dedicated set for JASDF Sea Camouflage, with the most accurate tones.

Great work! Amazing model! Did you use any PE in the cockpit? Apart from the Aires Aces II seat? I´ve been lloking for ages for a cockpit detail ser for the F-2, but Eduard never released one,only for the exterior. Beaver Corp and Platz released a cockpit set mas it´s sold out everywhere.

Both Beaver Corp and Platz are the Eduard bits. HLJ had the former a month ago as i bought one.
