KIT LIST PRICE $32.95--OUT OF STOCK INDEFINITELY!!! ***KIT #41 THE MITSUBISHI J2M3 “RAIDEN” (THUNDERBOLT), OR “JACK”, WW2 JAPANESE LAND BASED NAVY FIGHTER The Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden, or Thunderbolt in English, code named “Jack” by the allies, was the first Japanese naval fighter specifically designed for the land-based interception role. Some examples of the Raiden fought briefly in the Philippines in September 1944. Most were retained for home defense. When flown by experienced pilots, the Jack was preferred over all other day fighters as a B-29 killer. Its armament was powerful enough to destroy a B-29 and as long as its primary opponent was unescorted B-29s, the Jack was superb for the job. Our model of the Jack is the J3M3 version of which 160 were built. It is in 1/24 scale, with a 17.71” wingspan. The kit includes turned wheels, and 2 color decals.

KIT LIST PRICE $32.95 KIT # 43 NAKAJIMA Ki-84 FRANK. The Ki-84, Hayate (Hurricane), code named Frank was generally regarded as the best Japanese Army fighter of WW2. A captured Ki-84-1a was to out climb and out maneuve a P-47 and a P-51. The first batches were sent to China, where the 22nd Sentai, when equipped with the new fighter, was able to fly rings around Chennault's 14th Air Force. The 22nd Sentai later moved to the Philippines, where problems overtook them, with many accidents and shorages and extremely poor serviceability. Our model is in 1/24 scale with a wingspan of 18.45". The kit includes 2 color decals.

KIT LIST PRICE $37.95 KIT # 45 THE MITSUBISHI Ki-30 ANN. The Ann served in many of the bomber units in China. Some were encountered in the early Philippine campaigns in support of the Japanese Army’s occupation of the Philippines. In early 1942 surviving aircraft of this type were relegated to training units. A few Anns were used by the Royal Thai Air Force against the French. Total production was just over 700 aircraft between 1937 and 1941.Our model is in 1/24 scale, with a 23.89” wingspan. Our design is modified from Nate Sturman’s original design based on new reference information and modifications for kitting. The kit includes 1 color decals.
