Zoukei-Mura 1/32 J7W1 Shinden

By Mark McAllister

My first build of the Zokei-Mura line - I will definitely be building more! Joy to build, good fit (with a few exceptions, probably my fault!), great decals, overall a quality product.

This was the 2nd edition but the cartoon pieces and decals are added to the base kit so everything needed for the wartime version is still in there. Molded mostly in white plastic but not an issue. The sprues molded in silver and black are unchanged. I bought the interior and exterior PE and the metal landing gear. Don't really think the interior set was necessary and I only used about half of the exterior set. Might just be my growing aversion to PE. The metal gear is a must though!

I tried for a newly used, lightly weathered example since I am not close to mastering the worn Japanese paint chipping!
