In the corner of the room, a Zero fighter I had built a long time ago was gathering dust, so I decided to use the cylinder block from it.
The J1N and A6M used the same Sakae engine!

Gekko has a window in the rear seat floor that allows a view of the underside.
The Fujimi kit reproduces the window, but the floor is just a board.
So I drilled a hole in the floor.

Painted fuselage colour.
JN1N is painted dark green all over as night camouflage, so the work is easier said than done. However, because it is a monochrome colour, it tends to give a flimsy impression.
This is where the subsequent weathering process becomes important.

Painted Japanese nationality mark, Hinomaru.
Decals are also available, but I was concerned that they would cover up the rivets that I had driven in, so I painted them.
