Hasegawa 1/48 Raiden

Nice Jack, John. I think that interceptor is probably one of my favorite Japanese fighters.

Thanks for the comments, guys.  I finished the Fine Molds A7M1 Reppu yesterday, will post it tomorrow.

They both look great to me. The Raiden has a colorful scheme -- well done. I'm not too familiar with the Japanese WWII planes, except of course the Zero. Yours is looking good. 

Nice looking duo John. I have yet to not break off the antenna on almost every Zero kit I've built........except the version that didn't have one

Both well rendered. You nailed the zero color too.  It's a bummer about that canopy. I remember that from when I built it a few years ago. Otherwise a great kit. 

Thanks for all the nice comments.

The instrument panel is right out of the box with the kit decal.  I painted it Mitsubishi interior color with Gunze enamel, put a clear coat on with Alclad Gloss, put the decal on with Microset under it, then a couple of heavy coats of Mr Mark Softer.  When that was all cured I put a flat coat on, Alclad Flat this time, and then a bit later a drop of Future on each instrument face.  I put the fact that all the gauges ended up in good register to good clean living and a lot of luck.

John, great looking Jack. 

very well done my friend. I have always liked both of those model aircraft.

How did you do the dials on the instrument panel?  Very realistic 

Very nice work, John. I always liked the Raiden, I think it looks pretty cool.

Nice work on your Jack.

Beautiful set there John. =] Glad to see you around.
