MONSTROUS PLASTIC: THE HASEGAWA GODZILLA MINUS ONE MODEL KIT

Hasegawa has re-boxed one of their existing aircraft kits - the Kyushu J7W1 Shinden, to tie-in with the film.

The J7W1 actually appears in the movie, and the box art shows the aircraft diving past Godzilla. Kit number SP579 is in 1/48th scale.

The J7W1 was a bizarre Japanese canard design that never made it in to production. But it is a great looking plane.

The Shinden, with its odd design, is one of my favorite WW2 planes. I even had a 1/100 scale model of it way back when, from UPC, probably made by Marusan of Japan. SFZ

The showing times for Godzilla -1 are really odd where I live and I may not get to see it!
