Fin Air&Space Force purchased F-18 successor's successor from International Rescue. Thunderbird S will work mainly on search and rescue missions. It has remarkable stealth & manoeuver performance. Speciality is the cockpit which is actually a hermetic motorcycle! Pilot can drop it from the plane and drive to the nearest hot dog stand without delay, when landing is not possible. Rest of the plane will be remote controlled (or autopilot).
Model is from Takara Tomy. Easy to build very hi quality kit. It was fun to assembly. Painted stealth metal black. Minimal weathering made while the fighter surface material is slipperier than teflon - it is graphene/titanium/sweet potato/composite. Transparent stand is included in the kit + led light/clear parts afterburners.
Thank you Takara Tomy engineer(s) who made this cultural achievement. 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - S … Thunderbirds Are GO!
