Just wondering if it’s just me:
With China-based search engines, I seem to have trouble looking for news and photos of Admiral William Fallon, USN, by the Chinese transliteraion of his name as “ε¨ε» ζ³δΌ¦”.
Maybe because the Chinese words for Fallon coincide with the first two Chinese words of Fa Lun Gong?
] “They had to drag me out of there,” recalled Fallon, a
] veteran carrier pilot, as he described the first such
] close-up look by a U.S. official of the modern two-seater
] that is scheduled to become a key part of China’s air
] defenses.
[Joke ON]
IMO: Commie Chinese jet fighter cockpits are designed for Chinese ergonomics, not American.

1:48 JASDF T-3 Jr
FWIW, Hasegawa has a 1:48 JASDF Weapons Set A,
http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/05new/X48-10.html
with bombs and missiles that F-1, F-2A/B, F-4EJ/EJ Kai, and F-15J/DJ carry: CBLS200, CBU-87/B, AAM-3, ASM-1, ASM-2, Mk82 with GCS-1, AAM-4, and TER.
BTW, just noted from an ad in a military aviation mag that Hasegawa is making a 1:48 JASDF T-3 Jr. Product number X48-21.
Here’s a random site in English, with a photo:

But the Hasegawa official site doesn’t seem to have this item yet, as
http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/e-w/ITEMLIST/wep.htm
http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/zaikorisuto/acc.htm
is only up to X48-10.
