Hasegawa 02448 - 1/72 Mitsubishi F-2B Prototype No.4 Model Kit Overview

This Hasegawa 02448 - 1/72 Mitsubishi F-2B Prototype No.4 Model Kit gives aviation model builders a compact, accurate representation of the prototype two-seat F-2B. Based on the F-16 Fighting Falcon lineage, the F-2B reflects a US-Japan development effort. The kit captures the prototype form so builders can study the design and engineering choices behind this aircraft.

Prototype Background and Accuracy

Conceived in the late 20th century to modernize interceptor capability, the Mitsubishi F-2B is an important part of contemporary Japanese aviation history. This kit recreates the prototype's external lines and cockpit layout, with panel lines and shapes that reflect the original craft rather than generic details.

Assembly Notes and Display Potential

At 1/72 scale, this kit offers a focused building experience for model builders with some prior assembly practice. Parts are crisply moulded and require glue and paint for a finished look. When completed, the model makes a compact display piece that highlights the F-2B's streamlined fuselage and two-seat cockpit.
