This is the final post looking at my 'modern' (1970s-1990s) Japanese forces, and now we leave the ground and take to the air, firstly with three aircraft from the Japanese Air Self Defence Force (JASDF), followed by a couple from the JM(aritime)SDF.

F-16 Falcon? Actually it is a Mitsubishi F-2. I think this is an H&R model (of an F-16) - I already had some WW2 Jap markings in stock. |

F-4 Phantom. The green looks a bit garish in this photo. The model was an old one I already had - it's not a great casting but is clearly an F-4. |
 |
| Kawasaki C-1 transport - a pre-painted F-Toys plastic model. |
 |
| The C-1 again showing off it's (many) wheels! |
 |
| P-3 Orion by F-Toys |
 |
| P-2 Neptune (retired by JMSDF in 1984) by F-Toys |
Those F-Toys Orion, and Neptune look a treat.
ReplyDeleteNice collection. Lets see some of it in air battle action!

ReplyDeleteThe C-1 was meant to turn up in the game I reported recently, but the Russians turned the airport into a free fire zone before it could appear.
Lucky for the C1 I think!

ReplyDeleteIndeed - that explains why the C-1 in the photos is a bright, shiny thing rather than a blackened wreck! I'll have to plan a re-match sometime...
