Hasegawa – SP652 – Jet VTOL w/S-Submarine

Description:

The Jet VTOL with S-Submarine is one of the most iconic vehicles from the classic Ultraman TV series, forming the backbone of the Science Special Search Party (SSSP) fleet. The Jet VTOL, with its sleek silver-and-red design and distinctive vertical take-off and landing capabilities, was frequently seen battling kaiju alongside Ultraman. Mounted beneath it is the S-Submarine, a versatile craft capable of both aerial and underwater missions, giving the set a dynamic and instantly recognizable silhouette.

Combining sharp panel lines, finely molded parts, and accurate proportions that stay true to their screen appearance. The Jet VTOL’s characteristic rocket boosters, tail fins, and weapons pylons are faithfully reproduced, while the S-Submarine features its streamlined lifting-body shape and crisp surface detail. The kit is designed to allow an eye-catching display of both vehicles together, either in flight mode using the stand or as a ground configuration.

The quality of the molding is excellent, with cleanly cast parts that minimize the need for sanding or filling. The clear canopy is particularly well done, and the decals provide the correct SSSP markings for both the Jet VTOL and the S-Submarine. For Ultraman fans and sci-fi modelers alike, this kit offers not just a nostalgic piece of Tokusatsu history but also a unique subject in 1/72 scale that stands apart from traditional aircraft models.
