Zoukei-Mura Kyushu J7W1 Shinden, 1/48. The 'Magnificent Lightning'.
There are many aircraft out there that subscribe to the 'What If?' idea, but none I find as interesting as the Shinden. Ever since I discovered this machine as a kid it's been one of my favourites, so Zoukei Mura's offering of the aircraft [...]

Zoukei-Mura J7W1 Shinden 1/32
