Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1: Scale kit overview

The Hasegawa 00333 - 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1 C3 Model Kit gives Canadian modellers a chance to recreate Japan's first domestically developed supersonic fighter in compact 1/72 scale. The kit captures the F-1's distinctive profile and offers accurate surface details for a convincing finish.

Background and airframe details

Introduced in the 1970s, the Mitsubishi F-1 demonstrated Japan's expanding aerospace skills. This single-seat fighter featured period avionics and weapons fit, and the Hasegawa kit reflects those proportions and panel lines to assist accurate modelling.
