Nakajima G8N1
One aircraft was brought back to the US and tested. It was originally in Japanese markings and then later painted with us National Insignia. After testing the aircraft was scrapped.
I built the kit for a club theme of kits produced before 1980. We had to build the kit out of box. The kit had raised panel lines, huge rivits and the fit is poor. All the decals were unusable, but we were permitted to use aftermarket decals.
I went with the yellow orange paint scheme and removed all the armament. I did sand off the panel lines and re-scribe the entire aircraft.
The nose canopy fit is poor
It was probably more work than it was worth, but sometimes it's fun to build something that has been sitting in the stash for over 30 years.

JWThis is one of those kits that will never win contests, but it needed to get out of the stash and built. Besides, how many WWII aircraft do you get to paint gloss yellow/orange!

Spanjaardlooks really nice, certainly an eye catcher 🙂
you can paint a zero in orange, as long as you are depicting a training zero 🙂 and if you want colorful airplanes, you should try assembly ships 😉

gorbyIt would win if I was a judge, although no one would be fool enough to make me a competition judge. 😄 😄 😄
