This kit from the Sword Models have already been announced on Aeroscale. This time we can provide new pictures and few details of the box content.
Full name: J2M3 Raiden (Jack) Type 21

Item no.: SW 72053

As we see on the pictures, inside the box we will be able to find a single sprue of grey plastic and four resin parts. The resin castings are cockpit sidewalls, pilot seat and probably gunsight and the radio, if I recognize correctly. There is no picture of the cockpit "glass".

The kit will include three painting schemes, which are:
  • 1st Sqn/302nd Naval Air Group, airplane flown by the squadron commander Lt. Susumu Ito, Atsugi Air Station, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, Spring 1945 (there's probably a mistake in the pilot rank on the box).
  • 3rd Sqn/352 Naval Air Group, machine 352-20 flown by Sub.-Lt. Yoshihiro Aoki, Ohmura Air Station, Nagaski prefecture, Japan, March 1945 (there's probably a mistake in the pilot rank on the box).
  • 302nd Naval Air Group, machine flown by Ens. Sadaaki Akamatsu (27 air victories), Atsugi Air Station, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, 1945,


For the bigger size of the attached pictures please visit the producer website.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.
