Hasegawa 02138 Kawasaki T-4 1/72 Anniversary Twin Model

The Hasegawa 02138 kit gives hobbyists the chance to recreate the Kawasaki T-4 trainer used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. This two-kit set marks the J.A.S.D.F. 60th anniversary and is aimed at modelers who enjoy accurate military subjects and historical detail. The T-4's distinctive lines and training role make it a rewarding subject for benchwork and display.

Trainer Heritage and Scale Accuracy

The Kawasaki T-4 has been central to pilot training programs since its service introduction. The kit reproduces the aircrafts silhouette and essential exterior features, with careful attention to cockpit and panel detail. Decals supplied match the special anniversary markings, so finished models carry an authentic commemorative appearance.

Assembly and Finishing Notes

At 1/72 scale the kit balances manageable size with good detail. Builders should expect to spend time aligning small parts and applying paint and decals precisely. Experience with fine brushes or an airbrush helps when finishing the cockpit and external markings for a neat result.

Showcase and Collection Considerations

Completed examples make attractive display pieces either on their own or with other 1/72 military aircraft. The twin-kit format lets collectors build different finishes or share a kit with a fellow modeller. Its historical theme adds interest for collectors focused on Japanese aviation history.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Decals: Included for anniversary livery
This 1/72 kit is aimed at intermediate builders. Parts fit is generally good but small components and decal placement require steady hands and patience.
Use model-specific plastic cement for assembly and acrylic or enamel model paints for finishing. An airbrush gives the smoothest results, but quality brushwork also works.
Soak decals briefly, position them on a gloss surface, and use a decal setting solution to conform them to panel lines. Seal with a clear coat to protect the finish.
