Hasegawa 1/48 JASDF F-4EJ Kai Super Phantom / One-piece Canopy Model Kit F/S Description Condition: New Hasegawa 1/48 JASDF F-4EJ Kai Super Phantom / One-piece Canopy Model Kit F/S Product Description F-4EJ Kai is a fighter of the Air Self-Defense Force that developed from the F-4EJ Phantom II. Since more than 20 years have passed since the introduction of the F-4EJ, which was decided to be adopted as the successor to the F-86F in 1968 and began deployment in 1969, research and development has been conducted since 1980 in order to extend the life of the aircraft and improve its capabilities. As a result, in February 1982, we announced a plan to modify the F-4EJ. This modification mainly includes the improvement of combat capability and the adoption of the ASIP inspection method as a measure to prolong the service life of the aircraft. To improve combat capability, the F-4EJ is equipped with the AN/APG-66J fire control radar, which is a modified version of the Westinghouse AN/APG-66 radar used on the F-16. This radar was adopted after the MIG-25's forced landing in Hakodate, Japan, and is a small pulse Doppler radar suitable for spotting aircraft flying at low altitude over the sea from the sky. In conjunction with this change, the onboard computer was changed from an analog type to a digital type. This made it possible to integrate the armament system and to operate the domestically produced ASM-1 anti-ship missile. The navigation system was also changed from analog to digital. The digitalization of the inertial navigation system has dramatically improved the accuracy of navigation, and it also has a target marking function that can mark up to three target locations. In addition, as a means of defense, the radar warning system has been upgraded with improved capabilities, and detailed data is displayed on a CRT screen in the cockpit. In addition, the HOTAS concept has been adopted to simplify the pilot's operating procedures, allowing various operations while keeping the hands on the control stick and throttle levers. Along with these modifications, a new heads-up display is employed to display the processed data, allowing the pilot to read the data while facing forward. The F-4EJ has adopted the ASIP airframe management system as a measure to extend the life of the aircraft. This is a system that manages the flight performance data of each aircraft by computer and allows the fatigue level of each aircraft to be managed individually. This ASIP system can extend the life of each aircraft by approximately 2,000 hours. Although the F-4EJ Kai is mainly used for strike combat, its ground attack capability is also much improved compared to the F-4EJ, and one squadron of F-4EJ Kai is scheduled to be assigned to support combat missions as the F-1 support fighters are retired.
