1/72 Hasegawa Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusui

Gallery Article by Daniele Dotti on Sept 3 2009

 

Hi, this is my new model, it's the Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusui, and represent the first prototype; the test pilot Toyohiko Inuzuka flew in on July 7th 1945 at Yokosuka, Japan.  Due to engine failure the aircraft crashed and the pilot was killed.  This is an old Hasegawa kit, but fill well and required a small amount of putty.

I built this kit basically out of the box with the exception of seatbelts made with masking tape, it's all orange and I used Agama Acrylic color Orange 03M.  

I hope that you enjoyed seeing it and thanks for looking.

Greetings from Italy and happy modelling.
