Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

Production of the T-1 trainer started in 1958; 66 of this aircraft were produced by 1963, and at that time it was deployed to the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. After World War II, it trained 33,000 jet pilots, and is a masterpiece that has been engraved in history as an aircraft that greatly contributed to Japan’s post-war air defense. It was the first post-war domestically produced jet training aircraft, and it was a challenge to the latest technology of the time with its adoption of a swept-wing design. The T-1A imported and installed an Orpheus engine from Bristol Siddeley in the UK. On January 19, 1958, the prototype T1F2 successfully completed its first flight. In 1959, the Orpheus engine-equipped type was formalized as T-1A, and mass production was decided. The first mass-produced T-1A was delivered in September 1960, and was mainly deployed in the 13th Flight Instruction Group; it demonstrated its power in training new pilots.

This model kit from Platz accurately reproduces the T-1A’s cockpit with a double-seat tandem layout, and the distinctive swept wings. Details such as the cockpit interior, panel lines and landing gear are modeled in high detail. This kit reproduces the fully unpainted, natural metal fuselage worn by the T-1A when it was first introduced. Decals by Cartograf are included for the 13th Flight Training Group (Ashiya Base) around 1963, and the 1965 Experimental Air Corps (Gifu Base) No. 827. The natural metal finish is especially eye-catching — order yours today!
