Kit briefing for Hasegawa 07518 1/48 Mitsubishi F-2A Kai

The Hasegawa 07518 1/48 Mitsubishi F-2A Kai is a high fidelity plastic kit designed for hobbyists who prefer a realistic static model. Moulded components showcase fine surface definition and proportionate parts to recreate the fighter's profile at one forty eighth scale.

Aircraft background and key characteristics

The Mitsubishi F-2A Kai evolved from a joint development program and blends the F-16 layout with bespoke systems and larger wing area. The service aircraft is appreciated for its avionics suite and mission adaptability.

Construction notes and finishing advice

Expect to invest time in trimming, dry fitting and painting. Use primer and fine brushes or an airbrush for best results. Attention to seam removal and panel shading will elevate the finished model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for authentic finish

How long will assembly take?

Build time varies with skill and detail level. A straightforward build can take a weekend, while full paint, decaling and weathering may take several evenings over a couple of weeks.

Is glue included with the kit?

Glue is not supplied. Use plastic cement formulated for polystyrene kits; CA superglue can be used for small parts but requires careful handling.

Any tips for painting tight panel lines?

Use a fine wash or thinned enamel in recessed lines, then remove excess with a brush or cotton bud dampened with thinner. Alternatively, pre-shade panels before the final coat.
