FarEast Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 do335b6, Beautiful!I have to admit I would love to build ZM aircraft, but I promised myself I would stick to one genre and brand - the house just isn't big enough! I will live the dream through your build though!Colin, according to ZM it's all about the experience, he wants you to see the build in all it's glory for him it's all about the experience and he wanted to pass that on to fellow modellers. His bio on ZM is very interesting.http://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/en/concept.html Barking mad Jap-Lish but you get the idea - if you can read Japanese it makes a lot more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I understand, It's not my first ZM kit and the Raiden is one of my Favorite planes. I'm hoping to make an improved cockpit and possibly some J2M5 conversions for the Hasegawa kits based off the detail in the ZM cockpit and some research I've done. All in all I will probably built 6 - 7 Raidens over the next few years. This one is a great place to start. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

do335b6 Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 A bit more progress, I didn't realize all the shortcuts Hasegawa made unitil I started this kit. Lots of work especally in the cockpit need to be made to bring a Hase Raiden up to snuff with this kit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 23, 2015 Administrators Share Posted August 23, 2015 Great detail on this kit. You don't see them getting built too often though. What scheme are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do335b6 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 I found pictures of an all Green one with yellow on the cowl flaps and end of the cowl and propeller spinner, A bit different from the standard all Green that most were. I think I'll do a cut away version on the future with the yellow lightning bolts on it. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Experten Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Love it a great build! Very nice as I bought one a couple of years back and forgot I had it. Am going to build with lightning bolts on and am going to spend some time on cockpit and engine. Am going to use Eduard pre painted seatbelts! Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
