More Shinden's in stock! Available this week, the 1/32 SWS J7W1 Shinden

GaelHobbies features this incredibly popular Super Wing Series J7W1 in 1/32 scale. The Shinden was the 18th trial fighter craft developed as a prototype by Kyushu Aircraft and initiated by the Japanese Navy's orders for an aircraft capable of intercepting the United States long-range bombers.

"I won't let anyone stop this development!"

During the end of the war, as the fighting intensified, development of an interceptor craft, a trump card against the enemy's long-range bombers, was rushed through. The canard design was a proposition based on the highest level of technological development at the time. It was the realization of the 'Shinden', with its bizarre structure, including the 30mm guns mounted in a 4-way configuration located in the nose.

Japan's J7W1 Shinden was the only World War II aircraft of canard configuration that any combatant ordered into production.

This kit includes incredible engine and gun bay detail.
