1/72 scale plastic model. F – 15J Eagle is the main air fighter of the Air Self Defense Force. The Japan Air Self Defense Force is the third Eagle equipped country in the world following the US Air Force, Israel. Until then, the Air Self Defense Force, which has been using F – 104J as a fighter aircraft, investigated F – X as a successor to F – 104J. We decided to adopt F – 15 on December 9, 1977 from among many candidate machines, and the first car arrived at Gifu base on March 27, 1982. At the time of introduction, the Air Self Defense Force F – 15J was basically equivalent to the US Air Force ‘s F – 15C Block 26, and some of the Air Self Defense Force renovated its own. This is due to the addition of a high-speed data device (J / ASW-10 data link system) that receives SDF’s own automatic warning control organization (badge system) and E-2C early warning aircraft, and vertical tail The main refurbishment point is to change the tip antenna to mass balance. The Air Self Defense Force first deployed F – 15J to the battle fleet in full deployment after deploying it at the Nitahara base and training the pilot. Like the US Air Force, the F – 15J carries out a multi – step improvement plan (MSIP), and the equipment is improved additionally year by year. For this reason, a new antenna has been added and it is changing even on the appearance. Besides this, the aircraft capable of carrying the domestic air-to-air missile AAM-3 are under renovation.
