Completed Zoukei Mura 1:48 J7W1 Kyushu Shinden SWS super wing series no.1

To my fellow forum members,

As you can see, I could not resist the urge to purchase and build the Zoukei Mura Shinden. Such an unusual looking aircraft ahead of it’s time. That’s like the last build I did in which was the Ho 229.

This is not a clear fueselage kit like the previous build I did. That was a challenge and a half. I’ve done several half/visible kits but not an entire kit. Very difficult indeed.

I hope you enjoy watching this build as much as I will in assembling this unique and very cool kit.

I’m sure I’ll enjoy watching you build this one. As you said, a very unique aircraft.

Should make for an interesting build!

Ive read this is a very nice kit. I’ll be watching you Mr Toshi.

Still in ZM mode eh?..Should be a good one…

I have never seen such an aircraft from that era. Thank you for following!

Toshi

It definately will! Thank you for the read and reply.

Toshi

Thank you sir! I’ll do my best.

Toshi

Yes, I’ve gone through and tried different brands of kits, this will be ZM number 2 for me. Thanks for following!

Toshi

Here on this beautiful Sunday afternoon, I decided to AB these engine pieces and document it for your viewing. I’ll start the assembly here in an hour or so.

Toshi

Simular to the Dornier Arrow, but just a pusher rather than an push/pull.

Knowing your work, you will have her done inside of a week and the envy of us all with the craftmanship.

Yes, so true. I completely agree sir! I don’t know about a week, I’ve been slowing down lately, bad back. You are too kind with your words, it is I that wish my builds to be as good as yours as well as forum members. Thanks for the visit!

Toshi

Here’s what I worked on for this Sunday. I’ll be doing some reading, my FSM magazine!

Toshi

Toshi,

Nice work on the engine. As usual, I’ll enjoy following this build of yours.

Slightly off topic, when are you receiving your “neat little surprise” so you can post final pictures of your Ho 229?

Thank you sir, The 2,130 hp Mitsubishi MK9D (Ha-43) and its supercharger were installed behind the cockpit and drove a six-bladed propeller via an extension shaft. It was said that the engine was so powerful that it caused vibrations due to torque.

My surprise should be ready sometime this week 1943Mike, I think you will all like it. I hope? LOL! Thank you sir for your vigil and inquiries, you always excite and inspire me to move forward. I can only try to do my best.

Toshi

The engine looks good Toshi!Will you put a black wash to bring out the engine detail?

Very cool!!! You’re pushing me to pull out my kit and start on it!

Thank you sir. No, I want to do a nice clean build right of of the gate. Thanks for stopping by.

Toshi

Do it Gamera! I want to see your great WIP! By the way have you started the 1:32 Tamiya Zero?

Toshi

Another exotic build ! I’ll also will be watching
