Mitsubishi J2M3 Interceptor Raiden "Jack" - Tamiya

Another Jap...

This time will do something diferent... first of all ill do it "in flight" mode!! Second will do a captured version!
Tamiya has a lot of "low cost japanese birds" wich with some work become great models (not my case but... i try my best ;) )

The model.. nice box art...
