Nice rapid progress!

For those not familiar with the Raiden, it was a heavily armed, high power engine, rugged, interceptor. Everything that the Zero lacked was put into the Raiden. It just lacked that type’s fantastic aerobatic capabilities and very long range. In a skilled pilots hands, it could give as well as it took against the latest US Corsair, Hellcat, or Mustang that it would face over Japan in 1945.

Working on the seams - paint soon. Sadaaki is getting impatient

Nice work so far. Paint coming soon it appears…

Dang it John. This is turning out VERY well pal.

Beautiful work John! That is looking exceptional already! I would love to read Sadaaki's wartime history! He sounds like quite the interesting character.

That is coming along very nicely!

Thanks all. Sadaaki has quite the reputation for sure. I think somewhat exaggerated but makes a great story.
First try at hairspray chipping coming up

Almost ready for paint! And hairspray

Very cool! I do like the Raiden, such a good looking fighter.
