Tonys Revell J2M3 Raiden in 1/32 finished

[yak face]

Well its only 6 months late but here it finally is . The Revell Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden , a boxing dating from 1970 so well over 50 years old . Build thread can be found here https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...-raiden.41872/
I’m quite pleased with how its turned out , not bad for an ancient old thing ( the kit or me , you decide )
Thanks to Andy The Smythe Meister for suggesting the GB and apologies from me for the tardiness !

That's excellent Tony. The weathering is particularly well done - typical of Japanese planes of the period.

I can only echo what the guys said, Tony. She is a beauty with a superb finish!!! What, only 2 months late to finish it???...Amateur, I say!!!...

Outstanding work Tony, I really loved the build thread, and nobody would even know that you dropped it, and had to fix it.

Thanks everyone for the great comments glad you like it . Its been a long build and I’m happy that it doesnt look its age , the surface detail on this is as good as anything produced today. Heres another pic of it next to the bf 109 e trop , i know its a different scale but the Raiden is a real chunky monkey !!

Arigato gozaimasu !
