If all goes well, this will be my next model.

Another great choice, Bruno!
I'm glad to see that Shiden.

By the way, do you plan any bigger Japanese planes? I'm thinking especially about two and four-engined bombers like G4M "Betty", G8N "Rita" and G5N "Liz".

Cool! Did the N1K1-J have the same allied reporting name (George) as the later N1K2-J?

In my books on the matter, they do.
One book, Volume 3 of the "war planes of the second world war" by William Green states them as George 11 and George 21 but these numbers refer more probably to the Japanese type 11 and 21.

I did this test build for Bruno of his new Nakajima J1N1 Gekko. Happy to report apart from one minor glitch, it went together to produce this potent looking night fighter.
