Great choice, Mike (of course, I am partial to Japanese aircraft).

Congratulations on this superb build and on being awarded the POTM, Pietrek.

You have produced a magnificent replica of Lieutenant J.G. Aoki Yoshihiro's Raiden of the 352nd Naval Air Group [Kōkutai] as it appeared when based at Ōmura Naval Air Base near Nagasaki in southern Japan in March 1945.

Worthy model of the month.
Another example of a non-papermodel looking papermodel. There are some very talented people on this forum.

Another slice of Polish perfection for the rest of us mere mortals to stare at in slack-jawed amazement!

Great looking build!

This is arguably one of the most beautifully designed aircraft of WWII. Great Job!
