DeAgostini JASDF F-2 in 1:24 scale

While browsing through the HLJ's Fall sale I stumbled upon this:

Interesting concept. It looks like the kit has die-cast metal body, including moving parts, lights and sound effects. Malaysian website provided some more information in English. https://f2.stkworkshop.my/en-my/

Deagostini's own webpage: https://deagostini.jp/f2t/ shows that so far issues 1-85 have been published, ordering them costs around 950 euros. Extrapolating from that the remaining 15 issues would add around 170 euros, bringing the total cost around 1120 euros at the currency rates of today. Mighty steep, but paying weekly issues from the start might not seem to expensive.

I'd like to see one built. 😎

I think @Pete Fleischmann was looking for one in 1/32. Or a conversion at least. 

This might be the closest we'll get to that.

I’d love a 1/32 IM kit.

Interesting, but I’d have thought that the Matchbox trenchman would have been retired by now …

Apparently not …

Well, I guess his stint at Trumpeter has given him renewed purpose.

This gives me pause!
