[Zapowiedz] Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden Kai "George" MODEL HOBBY

[-MODEL-HOBBY-]

In the near future we will publish our new aircraft model which should
certainly interest all fans of Japanese aircrafts.
Fourth number of WEAPONS OF WWII will contain Japanese fighter plane
Kawanishi N1K2-J Shiden KAI "George"

Shiden KAI was a succesor of a N1K1-J, one of the most controversial
fighters of Japanese Navy during World War II.
Model depicts airplane used by 343 Kokutai, famous Genda's squadron of aces
and is designed in typical camouflage of Japanes Navy's planes from the last
period of the war.
Parts are provided to build one of two planes flown by Lt. Naoshi Kanno (48
aerial victories) or CPO Shoichi Sugita (120+ aerial victories).
Offered model is intended for all modelers, both experienced and novices, as
everybody can choose level of detail in the build model.
Fully detailed version will have:
- very detailed cockpit
- separate control surfaces
- fully detailed armament
- engine mock-up
More information in the near future...

This will be a real treat!!!!

And if you wondering about GreMir involvment - the answer is yes :D
Piotr will be doing all the announcing, but let me assure you that this model creates new standard in both quality of the design and printing.

This is good news indeed! Not only is this a very famous, capable, and beautiful airplane, but I know of no other Shiden-Kai available. The MM kit is of the earlier, mid-wing N1K1-J and has a few challenges.

It is a good (and logical) choice to provide aircraft of Genda Minoru's band of skilled aviators, 343 Kokutai, and I am delighted to hear that the kit will allow both novice-level construction for duffers like me as well as scope for the more skilled model builders.

And finally, it is wonderful that a scalable version will be available via GreMir!

Great news to wake up to!

Many thanks to all who are involved.

Everything Don said! (darn another on my to-do list!) I don't think even Mike can say the Japanese aircraft as underrepresented with the addition of this, possibly finest piston aircraft of the PTO. (sorry Will):D

Very nice - another one I want to add to my list, and not even because of any special interest in the craft, but just because I was blown away by the quality of the BF109-T1 kit produced by Model Hobby
