Kyushu J7W1 Shinden - Hasegawa 1/48 scale - full build

On august 3 1945, a strange shaped aircraft was seen climbing up above Mushiroda airfield in Kyushu. It was the first flight of the Shinden, the result of the painstaiking works of Kyushu Aircraft Company and the Naval Aviation Technology Center. The J7W1 Shinden was an interceptor against the U.S. heavy bombers.
