Toby's Japanese Jill. *FINISHED*
Well I did have a few girlfriends by that name so seemed fitting that I actually make one.
This will be the 1/72 7AD3-600 Fujimi Nakajima B6N1 Tenzan 'Jill' - Carrier Attack Bomber.

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
That's an excellent choice. The "Heavenly Mountain", which seems an odd thing to call something that flies..
Is this your sanderling?.

I had three of them. One was a dog. Absolutely barking

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
Here are the sprue shots and I'm currently deyellowing the decals hence them being attached to a piece of plasticard.
I'm now off to RAF Cosford and the Midlands Air Museum then back to Warwick with some mates for ale and curry.
What a terrible life I lead

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
Cockpit detail is fairly sparse. I've added s/b and some colour but nothing else

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
Good start mate. I really like the lesser known Japanese WWII types so I'm looking forward to seeing this one develop.

They strapped 6 years old pilots into them, thus the space . It is a crawling cockpit.

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
Never glue wings when tired. Complete blast up. Just hope I can prize the surfaces apart if not I'm going to have to scrap the build.

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
Martin, I have managed to save it. Fortunately the glue hadn't completely hardened and I was able to reset the top and bottom surfaces without too much damage.

Re: Toby's Japanese Jill
Glad you managed to save the wings, not much of an aircraft without them!
I have one of these to build, and after having taken ages to mask the compound curves of the P51 canopy, suddenly all those straight lines don't seem quite so bad
I hope the rest of the build progresses smoothly.
Regards,
Steve
