Kyushu J7W Shinden

[RotorheadTX]

A comment for the 72nd scale mob here.

I've got a copy of the prop Shinden I've been toying with, and just recently discovered that the spinner from the rear prop of a FROG Do-335 makes a very convincing jet-cone. I had been searching for the true jet version kit, but am quite happy with my kit-bashing solution, and work will be starting VERY soon.

Banzai!

for the 72nd crew

Ive cloned the jet pipe and larger intakes for the Jet version (J7W2). Ive sold a fair few to the ipms(UK) Japsig so far.



I Knock em out at £2 a set (plus postage).

I used one of Martin's resin clones but lengthened the tail pipe and added longer side intakes (two halves of a drop tank!) and have just won the SCWGB with it.

I was always tempted to add a BFO cannon to the nose, Me 262 style.

I like your thinking.

I did do the mod to a Bv P.208 but never did anything else with the kit.

Thinking about fitting a 1/48 kit with a pair of Ne20s, as they were at a real hardware stage and the pair ought to have enough thrust to provide at least reasonable performance.

Are you thinking of an underwing installation, a la the Kikka, or some sort of fuselage mounting?

Lightning-style over-under!

I remember watching an anime movie yonks and yonks ago where they operated Shidens with over-under jet engines off of carriers!   They only had a glimpse of them but they were pretty interesting designs.  Wish I could remember the name of it.

Wings of Honneamise per chance?  See here for the aircraft I think you refer to (at about the 40 sec point).

Thanks, yeah, thats the one.  I remember watching it 20 years ago!  Great movie BTW.

Still probably my favourite Amine.

I'm trying to find a copy as I type.
