It is the first plastic model from Hasegawa for the the Ace Combat 5.
The cover looks decidated and graceful. The radar screen has retained the original flavor of Ace Combat 5. The symbol of the Ace Combat 5 is replaced by the symbols of the project ACEs and Ace Combat. Does the Ace Combat 5’s logo looked old-school?
The color scheme is for OSEA’s Ace ZIPANG which appeareded in Mission 03 of Ace Combat 5. The scheme could be used after beating Zipang in the game. The name for this model is ‘Cherry Blossom’.
As expected that the model is in purple. The photo etching is included. As usual, the ammunition is not included. No need to say much about other part as Hasegawa’s F-14 is probably the best choice for F-14 1/72 model.
The symbols for Wardog squadron and Osea Air Combat Command are included. The stencil is in low visibility. By the way, in the few available plastic models for Acecombat, all of them are for the Ace Combat 5. Furthermore, all is for the Wardog squadron. Personally, I really want something for the Razgriz squadron.
The F-14D is painted with dark blue and purple. The F-14D seems to be a perfect match for this scheme, as the wings swept, the petals drift, which looks so lively.
