Global Scale Modeller

Hi everyone .
This is my entry for the "M" build the Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden, it is a 1973 kit from Tamiya and funny enough it is my first Tamiya.
You can find a very nice review of the model from a forum member TonyCnyc

I think someone just did one for the PTO GB, I really like the lines of it. I'm in.

Yep you are right Skullfish has the same one, I will use his build as reference, he definitely did a really good job on his.

OK I have been building this for some time it was for the M build Which I think is now finished.
Anyway here is the build





























































Decals and gloss is up and now some weathering using oils






Nearly there need Machine guns and the Rig antenna

And here is the final product
























Hope you Enjoyed

Great job mate, I just love the Look of the Raiden. I thoroughly enjoyed this kit , the odd bit of sanding and filling but a good kit non the less.
Thanks for you kind words on my build also.

Hi Skullfish, thanks, I really appreciate the comment and i am glad you like it, I agree on the filling and sanding, Also i had issues joining the upper part and the lower part of the wings. apart that it is a nice kit.

Great finish, man. One of my favorite planes from that era and you've gotten it just right.

Thanks Lysus, you are very kind i think i could have done a bit better in few parts but I am happy enough with it.
