--One with a fresh blue camouflage !! A multi-material kit that reproduces the C-1, a transport aircraft deployed and operated by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, on a 1/144 scale.

[About the actual machine]
――The C-1 is a domestic medium-sized transport aircraft of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, which began to be deployed in 1973.
--Developed by the Technical Research and Development Institute of the Defense Agency and Nihon Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation, it first flew in November 1970 and started operation in 1973.
--The engine is equipped with two Pratt & Whitney JT8D turbofan engines.
--By opening and closing the rear door under the tail, supplies and crew can be accommodated in the cabin.
――45 full-featured paratroopers, 60 normal personnel, and 36 patients can be transported by standing a metal rod on the cargo floor and attaching a stretcher.
-In addition, when mounting vehicles and artillery, it can be placed on a pallet for efficient loading in a short time, and the rear door can be opened and closed during flight, so it can be dropped in the air.
--The payload boasted 8t. In addition, by combining the front edge slats and the 4-step gap fowler flap, it demonstrates high STOL (short-distance takeoff and landing) performance with a runway distance of about 600 m required for takeoff.
――I continued to play an active role in various missions in Japan.
