Hello all,

These are a few pics of my 1/72 Raiden that I'm finishing. The canopy and the propeller is not glued yet. This is just a dry test.

I have uploaded some more pics to my site and a step-by-step section. I hope you like.

Best regards,

Jesús Alcocer

Thanks a lot for your comments. They are really welcome after all the time I've been working on it.

Mal, what kind of information do you need about the scheme? I only have the information given in the instructions. The scheme of this plane was the typical of other IJN planes (green over gray). This particular plane belonged to Lt Aoki of the 352nd Kokutai at Omura Naval Base in 1945. As the structure was all metal and Japanese aircraft paint was very bad at the time, planes used to look as if they were older.

I fyou need anything which is in my hand, just let me know.

Cheers,
