Raf Avi.: 4827 1/48 F-2A Intake [mid-flight] for Hasegawa

Release date: Jan. 31, 2023

□ Contents
1/48 F-2A intake [ground state] has been produced by 3D modeling + 3D printing.
By making it an integrated 3D printed part, it is no longer necessary to process the seam lines of the intake part, which was very difficult.
Screws on surface, panel joints, reinforcing plates, etc. are reproduced by observing the actual aircraft and molding with 3D printing.
Printed with a high-resolution 8K printer to reduce stacking marks. By printing with white UV resin, the inner surface of the intake and the inside of the foothold can be easily painted. (3D printed parts can be painted without a primer or surfacer undercoat.)

The set includes the following 4 items.

[Intake duct]
Based on researching the actual aircraft, the screw and the joint part of the panel are reproduced on the inner surface. The intake part and the duct part are separate parts, but the joint line can be seen in the actual aircraft, so there is no need to process it.

[Engine fan]
The shape of F110-IHI-129 is reproduced.

[Antenna blade]
On the bottom surface of the antenna blade, the state after relocation from the upper part of the aircraft by supporting air refueling is reproduced.
The parts are divided to make it easier to paint the antenna blade separately and prevent it from being damaged.

[Navigation lights]
Comes with transparent landing light and navigation light parts molded with clear resin.

The details like the piping in the landing gear storage are accurately reproduced.
The product version is printed with white resin, so the inside of the intake is perfect even if you don't paint on it.
In addition, the navigation light is a separate part made of clear resin.

*** The parts in the photos, the white resin parts are product version, and gray resin parts are prototype. The images will be update soon.
