| Dave I used plastic tubing crushed with pliers, then one end was trimmed to fit against the cowel. Heating in hot water will help crushing without tearing, as well as some C/A glue to help hold the shape. The flaps are just semi-stiff glossy paper cut to shape, with the exhausts filling the cut outs. |

| Jerry, how did you make the exhausts? Thanks. |

| James, it was pretty interesting to see. I was at Westchester airport in White Plains, New York. There were more Cessna's and small planes then there were passenger planes. It was all green with the red circles. It looked a bit like the stuka as well. |

| Wow, I wonder what it was? It had the Jap red circles on it? What airport, LGA or JFK? |

| Great job!! It's nice to know what it looks like and I'll definitely be using these shots for reference. I'll be starting mine when the Bearcat is finished and the colors will be a bit different. ;-) |

Certainly one of the best of the Dave Diels kits. |

A coat of Dullcoat then added the wing cannons, arial mast and pitot tube and the Raiden is finished. |

The decals are in place and the next step will be further assembly, the addition of some details and a coat of Dullcoat. |

With the canopy and the spinner glued in place a coat of Future is sprayed on in order to provide a glossy surface for the decals to adhere to. |

As soon after spraying the yellow the masking tape (Drafting Tape) is removed. Unforturnately some bits of gray and green pulled up and will have to be touched up. Also a bit if yellow overspray also will have to be touched up with the airbrush. |

| After allowing the white to dry for about an hour the yellow is sprayed on. |

The upper surfaces are painted with Tamiya XF-26 Deep Green Lightened with aprox 20% white. The anti glare on the upper forward surface is Tamiya XF 1 Black. The Orangey/Yellow when applied must have an under coat of white. |

The under cowling airscoop is added and the lower surfaces are painted with Tamiya XF-75 IJN Gray, heavily lightened with white. |
