Kyushu J7W Shinden (1 Viewer)

[Tony Kambic]

NASM Udvar-Hazy had the Shinden forward section on display for a number of years. The canard was brought over recently and installed this week. I have no knowledge of any more work to be done at this juncture.

Does anyone on this forum know about Shinpachi? I used to communicate with him about this aircraft and all the drawings he was doing. I cannot find him nor those postings.

Regards,

Tony

Great to see that. There is a full scale replica that was built for the film Godzilla Minus One in the Tachiarai Peace Memorial Park an hour outside of Fukuoka, Japan.
