Hasegawa 00135 - 1/72 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden (Jack) Model Kit Heritage Fighter  [HA-00135]

Raiden 1/72 Model Introduction

The Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden, known as "Jack", captures a late-war Japanese interceptor used to oppose high altitude raids. It was recognised for its rugged design and concentrated armament fit.

Historical Appeal and Scale Accuracy

The J2M3's interceptor configuration gives it distinct proportions and a purposeful appearance. This kit models those characteristics, offering a faithful small-scale interpretation of the aircrafts main features.

Construction Experience for Modellers

Intended for intermediate hobbyists, the kit contains detailed parts that benefit from patient assembly and clean finishing. The cockpit, undercarriage and panel lines respond well to careful paintwork and decal placement.

Collecting and Display Notes

When completed, the Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden makes a compact yet eye-catching showpiece. It sits well with other 1/72 fighters and helps illustrate developments in late WWII interceptor design.
