Kyushu J7W1 Shinden

by Randy Lutz

Here are some photographs of my Hasegawa 1/48 Kyushu J7W1 Shinden.

The model represents the prototype aircraft used for flight tests at Mushiroda Airfield, Fukuoka Japan during August of 1945.

This kit, while of older vintage, has fit that rivals the new Tamiya kits on the market. It is built basically out of the box aside from rescribng panel lines and adding seatbelts and gun port covers. No decals were harmed in the making of this model as all markings are painted on.

A full length building article will be appearing in a future issue of SAMI.
