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

The Hasegawa 02448 - 1/72 Mitsubishi F-2B Prototype No.4 Model Kit presents a compact scale rendering of the prototype F-2B two-seat fighter. Evolving from the F-16 architecture, the F-2B marks a notable development partnership. This kit focuses on the prototype configuration so modellers can recreate the aircrafts early appearance with accuracy.

Historical background and model fidelity

Introduced during a period of fleet modernisation, the Mitsubishi F-2B served as an experimental and operational platform. The kit mirrors the prototype's external lines and seating arrangement, with panel detail and contours modelled to reflect contemporary references rather than generic shapes.

Construction notes and presentation

At 1/72 scale the kit offers a medium-difficulty build suitable for modellers who have tackled a few kits before. Parts are cleanly moulded and benefit from careful trimming, adhesive work and painting. Once finished, the model provides a succinct display of the F-2B's distinctive profile.
