I put together the 1/72 version way back in the mid '70s. Neat looking airplane. I wonder what it sounded like. I heard one of the Piaggio P.180 Avaintis with a similar layout flying once, it sounded like a thick hardwood plank being forced through a dull table saw. The exhaust sound gets chopped up by passing through the props. Really distinctive sound.
It's nice to see this kits still around.I built mine back in the mid-90's. Ah glue spilling.I did the same thing with a Ta 152 model back in the day. An expensive Dragon it too!
Part from the fit issues with the vertical stabilisers the kit is really nice. Spilling glue is someting that every modeller have done I guess - hope your Ta 152 was possible to salvage.
@@KillBoxScalemodelling I guess if I were a glutton for punisment I'd take it down and scribe panel lines. :) As for the 152 it was oat in the end. I just had to give the underside if the fuselage a good sanding and lost some fine detail.
@@pandaphil I thought about doing that, but I decided not to in the end, simply too much work :) Maybe I get one of those Zoukei-Mura kits at some point and build a new one... but thay are a bit expensive :/
Bought this kit after seeing Godzilla Minus One, but haven't started it yet. It will be totally out of box, with the exception of a seated pilot figure. I'm going to bite the bullet and re-scribe panel lines because the last kit I built that had raised lines, I didn't do that and regretted it. It's a small kit, so it shouldn't take too awful long. And because of the long, spindly landing gear, I'll do it wheels-up and put it on a display base. I was thinking of accent-burning a wooden base with a torch, then painting a rising sun flag on it.
Great. Hasegawa is to launch the updated 1/48 Shinden soon coming December to commemorate the latest Godzilla movie where the plane plays an imprtant role.
Hasegawa also released a limited edition of this kit, one with resin parts (Larger intakes and jet pipe at the back with shorter fron nose gear) for the proposed Jet-engined version. One for the "Pacific-47" people.
At the time, they also had the Horten 229, which I believe was given to Grumman, to assist them with flying wing design. The United States worked on an aircraft that was similar to the Shinden, which was the Curtiss XP-55 Ascender. I don't have much information on that aircraft. I do however have a picture of the Horten and the Nakajima Kikka. I wonder what happened to all their aircraft when they moved to the Udvar Hazy facility near Dulles.
The Horten Ho 229 is a remarkable aircraft. I think that the Horten is still on display at Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/horten-ho-229-v3/nasm_A19600324000 If i get the opportunity I would love to go there and watch all the amazing aircrafts :)
It's on old but well engineered kit. Part from the drama with the glue bottle it were a relaxed build. I have been eyeballing the Zoukei-Mura kit in eBay and it's soon Christmas... :P
The shinden was featured in the godzilla minus one film. Hat's off to the crew who built the full scale mock up👌

Cool! Yeah it would be interesting to have seen it fly
It is beautifully made. My heart is pounding fast in excitement.
Thank you very much - I'm delighted that you like it. It's such an amazing aircraft, one of my favorites :)
Very nice,congratulation.It's the Japanese Do 335.What a futuristic plane.Greeting.
Thanks, yeah it's a really cool looking plane
That is an aircraft that has overdosed on coolness. Very nicely built and painted. Once again great work.
Thanks mate!
I love this aircraft, the design is so ahead of it's time.

Beautiful, I have a 1/32 scale but I’m gonna follow your lead

Thank you very much! :)
Solid build, good presentation. Thanks!
Thanks John! 😊
Wow amazing I also like how it explains it so I can do mine in the same amount of detail
Thanks! Good luck with your build 😀
Thanks

That looks pretty cool. Nice work!
Thank you very much Kyle! :)
Freaking beautiful!!!! Bravo sir!
Thank you very much! 😀
Damn good build, thoroughly enjoyed watching, I would like to have a go at one of these, have subbed and thumbs up.
Thanks Sprue Surgeon! It's a decent kit, but it requires some work around the vert stabs.
wonderful aircraft- so futuristic for WW11 . Wales UK. ( I have also done the thing with the extra thin glue !!!!!!>)
Thanks, yeah the "TET dip" is quite common for all scalemodelers - sooner or later it will happen ;-)
I thought for sure you screwed that one up but it turned out very nice in the end
Thanks Chris.
Similar type of propulsion, a pusher prop.
Yes
Dornier Do334...?😳
As Erik says... ;)
Been sitting on my wish list for a long time.......and it's not that expensive either, hmmmmm.
