Hasegawa 1/48 Mitsubishi J2M3 Jack finished as a captured U.S. aircraft. Out-of-box except for the decals.

That is beautiful. Nice concept as well. ![]()
That’s real nice. Great work. I have the Tamiya version on my bench right now. Awesome.

Beautiful build and paint job.

Crisp, solid build.
You gotta admit, she looks nice in US markings.
That is really cool. I like the different shaded panels. Nice too see something different.
Very clean build Mike. It’s always strange to me to see Axis aircraft with American markings.
Thanks guys, it’s a fairly well documented scheme. I agree though that the Jack looks ‘right’ in USAF markings, almost like a P-47 derivative.


Real nice build here Mike! Very clean. I always strive for this kind of construction and craftsmenship, but feel as though I fall short somewhere along the way. Luckily, it’s never too noticeable. =]
Real nice to see something like this. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for putting up the reference photo. It’s not surprising, but I hadn’t actually seen a captured Jack before. It does seem to belong in US colors, doesn’t it. =]
Great build, Mike - The finish is perfectly done, and the VERY subtle panel shading differences are completely convincing. Interesting subject and markings. Thanks for the post and photos.

Wow, that looks awesome! The metal finish came out great!

Just beautiful. Where did you get the TAI tail markings?
Wow beautiful, love the NM finish!
Thanks guys.
I made them myself Marc, but I’ve subsequently seen aftermarket decals for this scheme (Rising Sun decals?), and I think Hasegawa has even boxed the kit in these markings.
