1/48 Hasegawa B6N2

Master at Arms
I'm going to build this one alongside the B7A Grace. Got this at my club meeting just before Christmas for $25. It was missing the torpedo but I have some nice extra ones, and 1/2 the decals were missing. I have another one in the stash but have been wanting to build one for a while.

Just started assembling the pit. Like the B7A, the fit and detail is wonderful. Hope to get some paint on it soon!

Lovely kit...

I'll never get one; the ex's name was Jill and the memories, even after 40 years, are too brutal... :coolio2:
 
Lots of interesting airplane stuff in this one! Fuchida Mitsuo would approve!! :vgood:
Among "Serious Modelers" there has been much debate about the interior color of IJN aircraft. How did you choose which color to use on yours?
 
Chris, I have a few of the "Maru Mechanic" books and use them as a guide, then it is just Tamiya XF-71 Cockpit green with a base coat of flat black.

I'm not that picky! :bigrin:
 
Got the wash in the pit and assembled the fuselage last evening. I am very impressed with the fit of this kit! Hasegawa really hit the mark with this molding!

Just starting on the wing tips, I'm going to make this one a folded wings bird and am thinking I'll attach a bomb and make it a kamikaze aircraft
