sillymodeler Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Hi everyone. I built Mitsubishi J2M2 Raiden prototype (Hasegawa 1/32) The color scheme is a bit unusual, but Japanese prototypes and training aircraft were painted this color. Although I do not often build WW2 aircraft, I built this kit because I am living near the former airfield where this plane was tested for development. Raiden (雷電) means thunderbolt, coincidentally, American and Japanese thunderbolts both look fat, and I like these looking. I look forward to building American thunderbolt as well in the future. I built this out of the box, just putting a lot of riveting on the fuselage. The fitting of parts is generally very good, and it’s easy to build. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Martinnfb Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I really like the riveting and the subtle weathering, well done . Cheers Martin MARU5137, sillymodeler and Juggernut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 (edited) Very nice subject and well executed. I also noticed you riveted the airframe which also adds to the level of interest. I have no patience for doing such tedious work so my hat's off to you for doing this task. I also like the way you painted the eyes on the figure, very appropriate and accurate if I do say so.

nmayhew Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I really like your depiction, but I just can’t help thinking “egg plane” every time I see a Raiden! MARU5137 and sillymodeler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
