Japanese Fighter Aircraft Mitsubishi F-15J Diorama Set (3 Models)
Scale: 1/144
Comprehensive 1:144 scale paper model kit of the Japanese Mitsubishi F-15J air superiority fighter. The set includes components to build three complete aircraft (selectable from 16 operational squadron markings plus a dedicated Aggressor paint scheme) alongside display stands, support vehicles, and detachable armament.
This kit from the "Paper Wing" series features a modular 1:144 scale diorama concept focused on the JASDF main interceptor. The kit contains materials to build three complete aircraft: two F-15J fighters can be customized from a choice of 16 historical aircraft belonging to eight different squadrons (including units based at Komatsu, Chitose, Nyutabaru, and Naha Air Bases). The third aircraft replicates a uniquely painted aggressor plane assigned to the Air Tactics Training Group.
The engineering emphasizes functional display options: landing gear, air-to-air missiles, and external fuel drop tanks are designed to be attached or detached easily. The set includes a dynamic flight display stand depicting a high-G break trajectory, an aircraft tow tractor, ground crew figures, and a printed airbase apron display sheet.

The Mitsubishi F-15J is a twin-engine, all-weather air superiority fighter that forms the backbone of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF). Based on the American McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle, the F-15J was manufactured under license in Japan by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries starting in the early 1980s, with over 200 units delivered to the JASDF.
The F-15J differs from standard US airframes primarily through indigenous Japanese data-link systems, electronic warfare suites, and specialized avionics tailored to island defense operations. The fleet undergoes continuous modernization programs to integrate indigenous air-to-air missiles (such as the AAM-4 and AAM-5). The elite Air Tactics Training Group (Aggressor Squadron) based at Komatsu Air Base operates F-15J airframes painted in bright, high-visibility camouflage schemes to simulate adversary aircraft during tactical combat training missions.
