Re: My first Marushin..

Re: My first Marushin..

Nice pics Bill.. What amazes me is how big the Raiden is when I always though it was a small plane about the size of a Wildcat or Buffalo..

Yes, thanks bill!

I had the same reaction when I got my IXO Raiden, Harry -- thought it was way out of scale at first...

Re: My first Marushin..


Yes, thank you!

There are written US reports regarding this attack, I can never get enough of 1942 Pacific historical text-- what a year. Amazing photo. Thanks for posting it.

Oh, and I'm jealous of you Marushin guys, Big Time.

Re: My first Marushin..

I received Zeke today (4 days after being sent on his way in Japan....!) I will have to take a daylight look at it, but I am impressed already.

Re: My first Marushin..

I got my Marushin Zero last weekend...

Well, it's a nice model but has some issues:

- First of all it's very heavy compared to a FM/A. (which is not a bad thing per se but puts strain on the gear etc.).
- It took some brute force to put the screws in which connect the wings to the fuselage. From my POV brute force and diecast don't mix well.

- But what annoys me somewhat is the fitting accuracy of the resin parts. I wasn't able to fit the parts which are between the auxillary tank and the lower fuselage because they were badly moulded or whatever. This is simply bad!
