Kawanishi N1K2-J Bandai 1/24
Hello. In my first article, I would like to show off my model. This is Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden from Bandai on an impressive 1/24 scale. The model from the ’70s alone does not impress with details, but it impresses with its size. Span 50 cm, length 40 cm. Airplane in the colors of Sentou 301st Hikoutai ‘Shinsen-Gumi’, 343rd kokutai. Pilot – Lt.Naoshi Kanno (72 victories, August 1st, 1945 KIA), Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku, Spring 1945. I apologize for the poor photos, I will try to improve. I invite you to watch and comment.

These Empire of the Sun aircraft are always a great platform for weathering techniques.

What a beautiful and eye catching unique build. Great job all around. Love the NMF on bottom surface. Very real looking. This plane must take up some real shelve space…WOW! Your pictures are fine, dont worry about that. Plane has nice detail work.

Welcome to iModeler.
Don’t worry about your photos; they’re just fine! Well done on building that monster – it’s VERY well done and interesting. I especially like the undersides.

Hello Wirgiliusz, and welcome onboard at iModeler. As others said, in 1/24 scale is unusual because of the finished models are so big, but there’s certainly more to look at! It’s a great build of a kit that we don’t see too often.
