We offer a unique plastic model kit Hasegawa 02384 UH-60J Rescue Hawk 'J.A.S.D.F. 50th Anniversary' in 1/72 scale. This detailed set commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF), presenting one of the most important rescue helicopters operated by Japan. The model is aimed at military aviation enthusiasts, collectors of Asian armed forces equipment, and modelers who appreciate the highest quality details at this scale.

The UH-60J Rescue Hawk is the Japanese version of the American Sikorsky S-70, specially adapted for search and rescue missions by the JASDF and the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). These machines entered service in the late 1980s and are still in operation today, constituting one of the pillars of the air rescue system. UH-60Js have been used both during natural disasters and rescue missions in Japanese territorial waters, often demonstrating remarkable effectiveness in the harshest weather and terrain conditions—hence their prestigious status in Far East rescue aviation.
