Mitsubishi F-2B w/JDAM

Album image #1
I recently had the opportunity to receive an F-2A Kai kit from a model kit friend.
I just had some F-2B parts left in my spares box, so I decided to build it with those! 
 

Album image #2
The F-2B has a canopy like the F-16B and F-16D, but the main difference is the split front windshield.
This form is used as a bird strike countermeasure because of the need to fly at low altitudes for anti-ship attacks. 
 

Album image #3
'Offshore camouflage' painted on!
This camouflage has a very noticeable colour on the ground/under cloudy skies, but it has a high camouflage effect against the surface of the sea around Japan.

The F-2A Kai is equipped with a CFT (and Hasegawa thought it was), so originally the walkways and other parts of the aircraft would be partially interrupted to match the CFT.
But in this kit, the walkways of the normal aircraft are included as an extra!
Thankfully, I can use it.

Mission complete!

The JDAMs and AAM-3s equipped are captive munitions.
The aircraft has the markings of the Flight Development and Experimental Group filled in on the vertical tail, so.
