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!

Fantastic! Your model is undoubtedly better built than the real thing.

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,

Beautiful work! One of those aircraft that I've had a strange attraction to and this doesn't help my resistance to buying one.

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! 👏👏

Wel done, that's a fine model.

Thank you! 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!
