Hasegawa 1/72 Kawasaki T-4 Anniversary Twin Kit (02138)

The Hasegawa 02138 kit enables modellers to assemble the Kawasaki T-4 trainer used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. Issued in recognition of the J.A.S.D.F. 60th anniversary, the twin kit suits those interested in military trainer models and historic liveries. The T-4s streamlined fuselage and training role make it an engaging subject to model to scale.

Operational Background and Model Fidelity

The Kawasaki T-4 has been a mainstay in pilot training for J.A.S.D.F. units. This kit aims to reflect the aircrafts external proportions and cockpit arrangement, offering decals for the anniversary scheme so the finished model carries period-accurate markings.

Assembly Approach and Finishing Techniques

Built at 1/72 scale, the kit requires careful handling of smaller parts and neat painting. Dry-fitting and trimming will help parts align cleanly, while fine brushes or airbrushing improve panel definition and cockpit detail.

Presentation and Collection Notes

The completed model works well as a standalone display or part of a collection of Japanese aviation subjects. Having two kits lets you try different painting styles or keep one boxed as a collectible. The commemorative decals add collector interest.
