Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack), Tamiya, 1/72


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Old kit - not produced since years. The Tamiya's 1/72 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack) in markings of Tainan Air Corps of Imperial Japan Navy, Taiwan 1944. Pilot Lt.Yoshihiro Aoki (markings from box).

I only outdust her and softer decals, add some part of missing number from one side of rudder, cover with Vallejo matt varnish (not so well mixed to produce a bit satin effect :) ) I left original Tamiya's very dark hinomarus.

This is my another very old model - plus fourty years from construction. I remember that I added mach later then I did model the exploitation/weathering - but it was still before 1980....Really - I made this model when I was going to school (age of ~16) - now my grandaughter will go school this year. So... something had happend inbetween :) - about 400 other models among other things.

Comments welcome

Regards

Jerzy-Wojtek

Many thanks Dennis and Vince for your comments - It was build so many years ago, that almost like by another person... But "almost" makes the difference

Cheers
