F-2A intake (landing state)

F-2A intake (landing state) for the Hasegawa kit

F-2A intake (landing state) was created using 3D modeling + 3D printing. *The image is a prototype, so the molding color is gray, but the product version is white. 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 outputting 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 6 items.
[Intake duct] On the inside
The screws and panel joints are reproduced based on observations of the actual machine. 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.
[Front leg cover]
For the front leg struts, we prioritize strength and use parts from the kit. The mounting points are designed to allow for accurate installation of kit parts.
[Engine fan]
Reproduces the shape of F110-IHI-129. We observed the actual machine and recreated the hydraulic piping and wiring inside the landing gear storage as much as possible.
[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.
[Opening/closing actuator]
The actuator that raises and lowers the legs and the tow bar that positions the legs are included with parts that match the kit parts. The leg door also comes with 3D printed parts that reproduce the back side, thickness, opening/closing hinge, and actuator.
