viperchief Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Finished up this little kit and it was fun! Added a Hasegawa pilot and replaced the kit-provided scope, pitot, and tail plane struts with brass tubing. Painted with MRP. Thanks for looking! 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangseat Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Fantastic! Your model is undoubtedly better built than the real thing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngantek Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Lovely tidy work on this little kit. The sharp finish is really impressive, helped a lot by those additions. I have one in the stash too, looking forward to it Cheers, Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Beautiful work! One of those aircraft that I've had a strange attraction to and this doesn't help my resistance to buying one. 3 hours ago, Bangseat said: Your model is undoubtedly better built than the real thing. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Wow! A beautiful build! I'm ignorant of the type, I admit. A late-war prototype or limited production run, I am guessing. Very cool looking plane at any rate. Superbly done! 👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Japanese built 105 of them but they weren't used as they were held back for the anticipated invasion of the home islands. Made of steel and wood with no armament save the single bomb. Also, the landing gear was designed to drop off after takeoff. Wild stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
