I built this about 3 years ago, Hasegawa's 1/48 Mitsubishi J2M3 'Jack' in captured USAF markings. (I'm not really sure why but to my eye it somehow looks 'right' with US stars-and-bars). Finished with Alclad and my own decals, otherwise out-of-box. It's a lovey kit to build.

Nicely done, and it does look good in U.S. markings!

That's exactly what I was thinking. Somewhat similar to the lancer.

Super job there and your right. It does look natural in those markings for some reason.

So beautiful finish!

J2M looked strange to the Japanese pilots first.
The Raiden pilots joked the cockpit is so wide that they can sit there in a circle to launch party.

It does look good in US markings. Nicely done. Strange resemblence to a Republic airplane I once knew.....
