HA3405	Corgi	Mitsubishi T-2 - Aggressor Sqn, Japanese SDF (1,050 ONLY)	£ 0.00
			Out of stock

	Japan T-2 "69-5127" Red 27 of the Aggressor Sqn., JASDF in 1988. Low production run of ONLY 1,050 models worldwide. The base at Nyutabaru is home to the JASDF Air Training Command, Air Basic Training Wing and Flying Training Squadron. The Mitsubishi T-2 was introduced in 1975 and by 2006 all but a few aircraft had been retired. Eventually some T-2s were used as Aggressors and given a special paint scheme that consisted of a fake canopy being painted on the under side of the fuselage as well as the white around the red Hinomarus were painted over. The Hinomarus themselves were over sprayed a bit to make them less visible. The 2 digit nose numbers were painted in red to simulate those on the Soviet Union aircraft during the Cold War. The T-2s had some bad spin characteristics leading to an excessively high rate of accidents. It was at this point that it was decided to replace the 8 T-2 Aggressors with the F-15DJ. Aircraft 69-5127 “Red 27” has been preserved with its Hiko Kyodotai (Tactical Fighter Training Squadron) Aggressor paint scheme at the Nyutabaru Air Base. The Mitsubishi T-2 is a two-engined two-seat jet trainer manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and was operated by the Japan Air Self Defense Force from 1975 – 2006. The flight instructor sat behind the student in a raised seat that allowed him to visually monitor the student’s actions. There was a windblast screen between them that created separate clamshell canopies for each person.
