Platz 1/72 Mitsubishi F-1


Recommended Posts

Hi all! Build 5 of 2022 is an out of the box build of the Mitsubishi F-1 strike fighter deployed by the JASDF (Japanese Air Self-Defense Force) from 1978 to 2006. As built, this 3 TFS F-1 is loaded for the anti-ship mission armed with a pair of ASM-1 and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles.
.
The kit is very detailed but the fit is fiddly and required repeated dry-fitting, shimming and fixing gaps in most of the joins. Painted with acrylics and decals are from the kit. Weathering was kept light with only a panel wash. Definitely a 'looks good from 2 foot away' result.
.
A build log and more photos can be found on my site - https://www.rocketpunch.biz/22-platz-72-f1/
.
Thanks for looking!

That's awesome!  And I went through your site and I'm really impressed by your airbrushing & weathering skills.  Yours is exactly the type of "not too much - not too little" - type of "lightly faded/lightly weathered" look that I'm hoping to perfect.

 

Great work!
