P-2J "JMSDF"
Reference materials and kits.
The part to be cut for the fuselage extension is under consideration.(The drink contains dietary fibre)
The bubble window of the Revell 1/72 UH-1D fits perfectly!
I have purchased the PE parts made by eduard.
I believe it will make the cockpit more precise.

I'll try to cut it off quickly.
The cutting process and Dr Pepper
"Sarashikubi"
A mistake in the cutting point was noticed and corrected in a hurry.
I was in a model shop, looking at the products, when I had the idea of making the wingtip lights shine!
The light is white, but this is not a problem as we will install coloured lenses later.
It will be powered by the T64 engine, not the R-3350, so it will have to be modified to suit.
It also extends the fuselage. (It's easy to see because of the different colours).
Fill in the gaps further.
I'm not very good with a saw, so there are lots of gaps...

I bought the kit released in 2019 because the decals are deteriorating and I don't know if I can use them and the printing accuracy is not very good.
Ergonomically disregarded chair converted into a gaming chair
Increased rudder area.
Summer in Japan is very hot.
Open the windows.

I made a rough shape with a plastic board.
The shape of the bubble window has been corrected.
Fillet.
The height of the bomb bay and the front fuselage are different and need to be smoothed.
I'm going to paint it anyway.
First of all, it was filed...
press "REDO"
The AN/APS-80 radome will be sculpted.
You can see that it is smaller than the AN/APS-20.

I just keep filing and filing.
One of the most important modifications of the aircraft will be the conversion to the T64 engine.
It has been filed and smartened up.
The finished product is checked to make sure that it matches the image of the actual machine.
It's time to make a new searchlight.
I re-carved the moulding of the main wings. (I'm getting tendonitis…)
The installation of a VOR/LOC antenna is another feature of the P-2J.
We have to say goodbye to the cockpit for a while.
I made an oil cooler door out of 0.2mm plastic board.
I temporarily fixed the landing gear.
I've made a rough estimate, but the ground attitude looks fine!

I used too much force and destroyed the window frame...
Did I break the window frame? Well, I don't know what you mean.

Comparison between P2V-7 and P-2J.
Finally, it's time to paint!
The Walkway decal cannot be used as it is an extension of the fuselage.
So we will finish with masking!

Now that the painting is complete, it is time to prepare the base for the decals.
The marking process is complete!
Once properly photographed, this two-month journey will come to an end.

Awesome project and really nice work so far 👍
About picture 40: They look somewhat like HVAR, or rockets in general.
I could be wrong about that but at least Wikipedia says that the P2J could be armed with rockets under her wings.

That's Incredible!
I'm glad I bothered to buy the Tamiya F4U-1D.
The following video will give you an idea.

Well deserved. Congrats!
Hasegawa should take note to release a model with this version and a new mold.

Album info
The P-2J is an anti-submarine patrol aircraft developed by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. in the 1970s to replace the aging P2V-7.
The P-2J has an extended fuselage, a T64 turboprop engine, a larger directional rudder area and spring tabs.
Originally there was a conversion kit available, but I couldn't get it, so I'll do my best as factory manager!
