Great to see so many inspirational builds here and all What-Ifs!
Please allow me to share my latest little creation, the Hasegawa 1/72 Kyushu J7W1 Shinden.
Pretty much built out of the box with the addition of seat belts in the cockpit, a well worn, (and probably tactically acquired), drop tank.
Finished with Mr Color Lacquer Shallow/Deep Ocean blue combo for maritime operations. Inspired by the same scheme currently carried on JASDF F-2 and F-4 birds.
The Hinomaru were masked and sprayed as the kit ones just wouldn't settle down no matter what I threw at them. I preferred a more muted tone to the red anyway. All other markings from the kit and spares box.
This is a great, fun little kit. It's overall shape lends itself well for what-if possibilities.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
