Kyushu J7W1 "Shinden" #2 - bibliography

Unfortunately the bibliography of the "Shinden", apart from mentions in numerous X-plane publications and articles, is very limited. The only publication specifically dedicated to the plane was originally released in October 1978 by Bunrindo in their "blue FAOW" series as #102 and then reprinted in January 1982 and January 1986 in their "white FAOW" series as #129 and #153 respectively.
All the publications are identical with only minor differences, are long out-of-print and presently VERY hard to find. They have not been updated/reprinted by Bunrindo. 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
For modellers the best immediately available option is the "Concept Note" by Zoukei Mura which is in English too.

Hi, about photo material from this a/c
Look at YouTube, there are films from the maiden flight. It is the best material available.
Greetings from Europe.
