When released in the early 1970s, Revell''s 1/32 Imperial Japanese fighter Mitsubishi J2M3 Raiden “Thunderbolt,” was a bridge between models as toys, and as historical miniatures. Today the Raiden is a highly-prized rare model.

As old as this kit is it is a jewell in the rough!
I have two of them sitting on the shelf since the seventies.
Only paid a couple of bucks for each of them with the intent of using them as wrecks in a dio.
A great old kit even by today's standards. There are some old jewels out there. Look for them!!!!!!

Ship wreck? I'll bet the molds for the Revell 1/72 Frances and Sally were on that ship.
