Fenous 1,365 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hello, this is my build of Hasegawa 1/32 J2N2 Raiden prototype. I`ll complete it as an yellow-orange prototype, which surely will shine between those boring green and grey models in my cabinet :-) I`m using Eduard exterior+interior PE+ canopy masks. Kit is perfect, much better then Trumpeters Me-262 I`v built previously, so I`m enjoying every moment. I`m riveting for the first time with RB wheel, I was worried at first about it, but in the end it gone quite well, wish I started with wing bottom, where my initial mistakes would be less visible. I have cocpit almost finished, just drybrush and some scratches and chipping remains. I will no bother a lot about the engine, because there will be almost nothing visible of it in the end, so I`m going to leave it as it is-black surfacer and silver drybrush. I`m quite worried about two things-rear cockit+rear canopy assembly, which is quite complex with all this PE, but looks much better than plastic original and also about instrument panel, because PE is for J2M3 and IP is different, so I`ll try instruments form decal and if this doesn`t work, than my shaky hand and blurred vision comes forward. Canopy masking will be challenge as well, because J2M2 has different windshield and also Eduard mask set lacks parts fo internal masking, which in 1/32 is necessary, airbrushing interior color from outside first doesn`t work well here . acarothers896, Mal_Belford, mywifehatesmodels and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Plasticsurgeon 89 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Very nice start! When you come to the part where the wings are mated ( is this correct English? ) to the fuselage you have to cut some of the "teeth" of the wingspar, or make them smaller to give it more wiggly-room. Or you will have a hard time putting them together..... Link to post Share on other sites

Bill_S 5,124 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Most excellent, Fenous-San! I would be particularly interested in knowing what you did to detail the rudder pedal assembly... Link to post Share on other sites
Fenous 1,365 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Thanks for your comments guys. Rudder pedals are improved with Eduard PE and some very minor scratchbuilding. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenous 1,365 Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 Cockpit finished, I`ll close the fusselage and finish riveting. Those parts are not clean enogh, even if I store them in closed box some dirt can find way in, I will clean them before glueing together. Mal_Belford, sandokan and D.B.
