Mitisubishi J2M3 Raiden "Jack" - 1/144 Fujimi - Little Diorama - Aircraft of World War II

Lucke.stz · 04-08-2009, 10:02 PM

Hello Guys,

Here is my current project.

Lets to kit:

The box comes with two kits, on Ki-44 the post about it is here (Nakajima Ki-44 Shokki - Tojo - 1/144 - Fujimi)
, this box was released on 1995 to Celebrate te 50 years to end of WWII

The idea about these little diorama, is to make the Raiden, crash landed on a beach in some place on the Pacific, this will be my first job on these subjects.

I did small holes on the fuselage, to simulate the enemy machine guns shots

I cut away the ailerons an the elevator, to put in a more real position

I cover the model with Tamiya Chrome t help on wheatering

On the shots holes I use Maskol

Detail about hte instrumet panel:

Decaling and paiting:

The Micro Sol an Micro Set, helps a lot to aply decals, the result is paint like...

I start to build the diorama base, so I did some Coconuts Trees

I use Piano wire 1/16" and Tamiya masking tape to make the thr trunk.

So with Tamiya XF-52 and a weathering the result was this:

The leafs I did with paper, I don´t know how these,paper is called in English, here in Brazil we call it Papel Vegetal, it was used to thechnical drawings.

The tips of the trunks I did with epoxy and the coconuts too

Each Coconut Tree have around 3,5" and 4" tall, and the leafs about 1".

So, as it is difficult to control the curiosity I made a dry fit.

thanks to see

Some model updates and weathering..

Lucke.stz · 04-08-2009, 10:21 PM

I did the base with plaster, and with the model on plastic film, I did the marks.

So, here is how these little dio will be...

Soon I´ll post more progress...

Thanks to see...
