Hasegawa 1/48 Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden Jack Type 21 - Faithful Scale Representation

The Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden, called "Jack" by Allied code, was designed as a high altitude interceptor. This Hasegawa 1/48 Type 21 kit captures the aircraft's distinct lines and operational character, offering modellers a faithful representation suitable for museum style displays or personal collections.

Moulding Quality and Authentic Markings

Hasegawa delivers sharp detail and well engineered parts in this 1/48 Raiden release. The kit allows you to model the undercarriage either lowered or raised, and includes decals that reflect a captured Raiden, giving the finished model a clear historical narrative.

Building Experience and Display Value

Released as part of Hasegawa's military series, the kit provides a rewarding build that benefits from patient assembly and careful painting. The finished Raiden Type 21 presents strongly among WWII fighter subjects and is a fine choice for display cabinets.
