F-2A intake (flight condition)

F-2A intake (flight condition) for the Hasegawa kit

F-2A intake (flight condition) was created using 3D modeling + 3D printing. The intake part, where processing the bonded surfaces is difficult, has been made into a 3D printed part, making processing unnecessary. By observing the actual machine and 3D printing, we reproduced the surface screws, panel joints, reinforcing plates, etc. Printing with a high-resolution 8K printer reduces lamination marks. By printing with white UV resin, we have simplified the pre-painting process for the inside of the intake and the inside of the legroom. (3D printed parts can be painted without undercoating with a primer or surfacer).

The set includes the following 4 items.

[Intake/Duct]
The inner surface of the intake has screws and panel connections based on observations of actual machines. Parts are being reproduced. The intake part and duct part are separate parts, but the parting line can be seen on the actual machine at the joint, so no processing is necessary.
[Engine fan]
Reproduces the shape of F110-IHI-129.
[Antenna Blade]
The antenna blade on the bottom side reproduces the state after being relocated from the top of the fuselage to support mid-air refueling. The antenna blade has been made into separate parts to make it easier to color and to make it less likely to be damaged.
