1:48 Hasegawa 07568 Kawasaki T-4 Blue Impulse 11th Squadron 30th Anniversary - Japanese Trainer Aircraft Plastic Model kit

Thirty years of spectacular flying displays, perfectly synchronised formations and the distinctive blue and white colours of Blue Impulse! With the Hasegawa 07568 Kawasaki T-4 Blue Impulse 11th Squadron 30th Anniversary, you can recreate a special commemorative version of the famous Japanese display aircraft. This plastic model kit in 1:48 scale is based on the Kawasaki T-4 operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's 11th Squadron, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025. Its streamlined fuselage, distinctive twin-engine configuration and striking anniversary markings make this version a fascinating addition to any collection of military and aerobatic display aircraft.

The Kawasaki T-4 was developed as an advanced trainer for the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force and made its first flight in 1985. Powered by two jet engines, the aircraft is known for its excellent manoeuvrability, reliable handling characteristics and suitability for advanced pilot training. Since 1996, the T-4 has been the aircraft of choice for Blue Impulse, Japan's famous aerobatic display team, which impresses audiences at airshows with precisely executed formations and spectacular manoeuvres. The 11th Squadron began operations on 22 December 1995 and celebrated its thirtieth anniversary in 2025. Special commemorative markings were introduced for the occasion, including an anniversary logo beside the left air intake and the number 30 on the vertical tail fin.

This special Hasegawa release is inspired by the aircraft presented during the anniversary celebrations. The model kit comprises 118 parts and offers a choice of two historical aircraft from the 11th Squadron, based at Matsushima Air Base. The included decals allow you to recreate aircraft 790 (06-5790) or 663 (16-5663), complete with the distinctive 30th anniversary markings. The characteristic blue and white livery provides an excellent opportunity for careful painting and finishing, highlighting the elegant lines of the Kawasaki T-4. Display the completed aircraft as a standalone model or alongside other Japanese display jets to create an impressive aviation collection.
