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. 🙂

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

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

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 🙂

Looking good Guy 👍
The advantage with the Japanese WW2 planes is that you can finish the decals quickly 😄

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. 👍

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

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. 👍
