I think this might have been one of the projects that I’m most proud of.
I originally started this for the Light Fighters Challenge by mikoyanster, but then decided to make a Blue Impulse stunt aircraft. If you are a big fan of the anime Urusei Yatsura, then you will definitely get this.

Some background info:

The Kawasaki T-4 is a Japanese subsonic intermediate jet trainer aircraft used by the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. In addition to training duties it is used by the JASDF's Blue Impulse aerobatic team. The first XT-4 prototype flew on July 29, 1985. The first production aircraft was delivered in 1988.

In November 1981, Kawasaki was selected as main contractor to design and produce an aircraft relating to the MT-X program. This program was launched to replace the Lockheed T-33 and Fuji T-1 jet trainer aircraft in service in the Japan Air Self Defense Force. The initial program planned a run of 220 aircraft and entry into service in 1988. The first production T-4 flew on 28 June 1988 and deliveries to the JASDF began in September 1988.

Fighter units of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force are equipped with T-4s as trainer/liaison aircraft.

This specific livery was one that I thought wouldn’t be too hard, but not too easy as well. I might make a Blue Impulse version (and maybe enter one in the challenge) but it depends on this one.

CONTROLS:

AG1 = Parachute

AG2 = Drop Tank 1

AG3 = Drop Tank 2

Be careful with mirroring, as the flaps (very strong, don’t pull all the way down) can become inverted. It’s easily fixable though.
Please enjoy and happy flying!
