Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack) 1977 tool, 2006 box

Guy Rump
I've now made a start on the J2M3. The internal fuselage (that has no detail) was painted Aotake transparent blue. the main cockpit has also been painted along with the enclosed pilot. 🙂

Kyle DeHart
Love the Jack! Can't wait to see it

Guy Rump
Added the cockpit to the internal of the fuselage and then glued together. 🙂

Welcome Kyle. 👍

Thanks Villiers, WhiteGlint, Vincent, Kyle & Lukasz for the likes. 👍

Guy Rump
Wings and tail added. Primer added then a bit of pre-shading. 🙂

Bruce Huxtable
Really neat and tidy cockpit, Guy, and I'm curious to see how the pre-shading adjusts the next coats. Watching and learning as always 🙂

Moreno Baruffini
I'm also curious! Watching!

Marcin Dudek
I want to see that too!

Rui
I'm in 🙂

Guy Rump
IJA Black green added to the top of the aircraft after a coat of IJA Dark black green. 🙂

Welcome Bruce, Moreno, Marcin, Roland and Rui and Marc. 👍

Guy Rump
Underside painted IJN Light Grey. 🙂

Thanks for the like Lukasz. 👍

Guy Rump
Vallejo gloss varnish added and then the decals applied. 🙂

Thanks for the likes Christian, Jukifo and Djordje. 👍

Guy Rump
Undercarriage now added and the red and blue landing lights painted on. 🙂

Thanks for your comment Roland; there were actually more decals but they fell apart so I decided to leave them off! 🙂 👍

Thanks for your likes Neil, Alex R and Mirko, greatly appreciated. 👍

Jan Peters
Nice and clean build Guy.
Im surprised to see recessed panellines on such an old tooling, or did you scribe them?

Guy Rump
I have now decided to declare this J2M3 complete. The cockpit was a difficult fit. Apart from that, any mistakes are mine. 🙂

Thanks Jan for the kind comment and like. The recessed panel lines are the assembly joins in the wings which do not seem to accept panel line wash well, hence the lack of wash , the rest are raised. 👍

Many thanks for all of your kind comments and likes. 👍

Marcin Dudek
Very clean build, looks grate 👍

Kyle DeHart

Moreno Baruffini
