J7W1 Shinden

Here are some images of Dave Porter's 1/48scale Shinden.

This is the J7W1 Shinden. It was designed as a fast interceptor with heavy firepower that was intended to curb the onslaught of B-29 raids over the homeland. Only three test flights were completed before the war ended. This kit is in 1/48 scale by Hasegawa. Dave built it straight from the box and he finished it in Tamiya and Gunze acrylics.
