It was one of the most advanced interceptors in the world at the time, designed to defend the continent against a potential Soviet bomber attack. It served with the US Air Force from 1959 to 1988. The aircraft participated in numerous NATO and domestic air exercises, being a pillar of US air defense until the end of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eFeatures of the Hasegawa 02402 Kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThis kit stands out for the excellent quality of surface details on both the fuselage and wings. The model offers a richly detailed cockpit interior, the option for closed or open landing gear, as well as a wide range of commemorative decals for the US bicentennial livery. The kit does not contain metal, resin, or photo-etched parts, meaning construction is entirely based on the manufacturer’s plastic components. The assembly instructions are clear, and the fit of the parts is at a high level, characteristic of Hasegawa products. Glue and paints must be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \n  \u003ch3\u003eWho do I recommend this model for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eI recommend this model both to intermediate aircraft modelers and to collectors seeking unique pieces in commemorative liveries.
