1/48 J2M3 Raiden from the Hasegawa kit
Hi all.
This was number six for the year and the final one for 2019. The 1/48 Hasegawa J2M3 Raiden. I started this one almost two years ago however a disaster at the painting stage shelved it for almost 18 months. I picked it up about three weeks ago and finished on New Years eve. I chopped open the canopy, added ResinArt wheels and exhausts, painted the roundels and used Aeromaster decals for stencils and ancillary markings. I really enjoyed the dinged up green on this one. There's so much scope for weathering with Japanese WW2 era subjects and this is a great subject to apply it to.
Happy New Year and safe 2020 to all.

Very nice. I need to get one
Thanks George. Glad it's convinced you to get one. They are a straightforward kit to build.
Really good rescue from the shelf of doom. Like George I think I need/want one.
Thanks Haslam. As I said to George, you'll enjoy it!
Nicely done Michael, like the weathering you've done on her, she looks good.
Thanks Tom. Less is more on this one. Glad you like it.
Great paintwork. What greens did you use?
Thanks John. The colours for the exterior are Mr Color Misubishi Green. Mr Color also do an interior green and cowling colour too.
Looks very nice - well done!
