Tamiya 61018 - Mitsubishi J2M3 Interceptor Raiden (Jack)

 

 

 

 

First attempt at adding brake lines...more to learn. 

Will create a closed canopy and seat the pilot. Wanted to use the second pilot as practice for the other Japanese planes. 

 

 

Need to be more careful with the can white fine primer...some areas got too much and you can see the drops pooling/dripping off the fuselage. Will need to be more careful next model.

Three selection of the Tamiya spray cans 

 

Color scheme calls for 'blue-black' ... ended up using regular black matte spray paint. 

Ugh...Can see the where the excess primer pooled at the bottom and created waves...good lesson for next build.
