Nakajima B6N2 Tenzan, `Jill`, Type 12, 256th Attack Squadron, 752nd Naval Flying Group


Recommended Posts

Howdy All,

 Me again, come to bother you all with some photo`s of my recently completed Tenzan ( Jill )

My second attempt at Hasegawa`s 1/48 kit, from the `with folded wings boxing`

Built as usual 99.9% OOB

With just aerial wires, brake pipes and some seat belts added

I realise the flaps and underside gun position probably wouldn`t have been deployed on the ground but I like them.......

....so just pretend it`s having some last minute maintenance 🙂

The paint guide suggested that the undersides  of Jill`s later in the war were painted silver, so I went with that....

and mixed the Metallic Blue for the wheel wells and wing folds from odd paints until it looked close enough

Hope you enjoy the pic`s, thanks for looking

Cheers Russ

Arigato Russ san! The "Jill" is quite a big machine is n't it? Cheers.

Thanks Jean, yeah it is big for a Japanese subject. I`ll have to do one with the wings unfolded one day

Glad you like it, Cheers Russ

Hi Russ,

 

once again, a beautiful build! And it is a great looking plane, so it is a win-win!

I have the Fujimi 1/72 in the stash, and I am still circumspect of the red torpedo head. Did you find any evidence of the tip being this color?

Congratulations for a stunning build.

A really interesting subject made and painted with the usual aplomb.:clap:

I'm really pleased to see this as I am having a bit of an excursion from my usual stuff and have started building the Fujimi Nakajima C6N1-S Saiun (Painted Cloud) MYRT. The Instructions are totaly in Japanese so I will use your beauty as a colour guide. ( I dont have any specific IJN Paints.). Wish me luck with the paint chipping!

Lovely job on that Russ! Especially like the weathering near the wing folds.

 

Did you paint on the hinomaru or are they decals?

James.

Thanks James, they`re the kit decals applied on a puddle of Johnsons clear

Cheers Russ
