Product description
High-quality metal model of the Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighter aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force - 302 Hikotai, Misawa AB base, 50th anniversary.
The model is detailed according to the real model. The package includes a stand and landing gear.
The Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II is a fifth-generation fighter aircraft designed for air superiority and tactical missions. The F-35A version is a conventionally take-off and landing variant used by the air force. This special edition of this model was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 302 Hikotai squadron, which was originally equipped with F-4 Phantom aircraft. In 2019, they were replaced by modern F-35 aircraft. The model displays an anniversary paint job with the unit's colorful emblem in blue, white and red, including a stylized eagle on the tail, which symbolizes the unit. This design stands out from the typical inconspicuous F-35 markings and serves as a tribute to the unit's history.
