Adapted from the Hasegawa website:

Kaoru Shintani’s action-packed manga, Area-88, debuted in 1979. It was an instant hit, exciting readers with the exploits of Shin Kazama, a mercenary fighter pilot stationed at a top-secret air base called Area-88. In several issues, Kazama pilots a J35J Draken with a flaming unicorn head on the tail. The series, which was praised for its white-knuckle dogfighting action, inspired multiple animated films and a television series. This limited edition kit features one marking option inspired by Japan’s popular “Area-88” manga.

When completed, this model kit measures about 323.5mm long and has a wing span of about 198mm. Parts come molded in gray. Includes clear parts and decals.
