[FREE] 1/100 Mitsubishi B4N1 Papermodel

A single-engine carrier bomber aircraft completed in 1936 and designed by Takao Yoshida, this aircraft was Mitsubishi's response to Imperial Japanese Navy requirement to replace Mitsubishi B2M (type 89) bomber, this bomber ends up being a failure due to the lack of suitable engine and stability problems.

An obscure aircraft on the middle of already obscure Japan interwar aircraft design, this model is particulary hard to design because there's literally 1 (one) real life image of this aircraft as reference which i put as the cover for this post.

[FREE] Mitsubishi 1MT Triplane Papermodel

Mitsubishi 1MT was a Japanese single-seat triplane torpedo bomber built for Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service for aircraft carrier Hōshō. Designed by Herbert Smith, 1MT1N first flew in August 1922 and entered service as Navy Type 10 Torpedo Bomber or Carrier Attacker. 20 aircraft were built, but the aircraft was difficult to fly and unable to operate from an aircraft carrier when carrying a torpedo. The type was soon withdrawn and scrapped.

Another Japanese aircraft model from Argwenza Kainaka, he didn't specify the scale but by comparing the wingspan of the real thing versus the model, maybe it's close to 1/79 or 1/80 scale.Well suited for interwar military aircraft enthusiast, especially for the Japanese one, it's a relatively easy model to build and the instruction panel is already inside the model file.

And this is the one where i tried to resize it to 1/100 scale (torpedo from Mitsubishi B4N1 pattern):

A single-seater monoplane with 25hp Volkswagen engine (then replaced with 35hp VW engine), built in hope of inspiring Indonesian youth interest in aviation, one "Kunang" was produced and its replica now resides in Satria Mandala Museum, Jakarta.

Another papermodel pattern from Argwenza Kainaka as a non-scale model (but big enough to fill an A4-sized paper for a 7-meter long aircraft, so between 1/48 to 1/33?), intruction sheet already included in the model.

[FREE] Mitsubishi 1MF2 Hayabusa Papermodel

Aware of its aging fighter aircraft fleet, in 1927 Imperial Japanese Army asked Kawasaki, Nakajima and Mitsubishi to study a new fighter aircraft design. Mitsubishi team led by Nobushiro Nakata assisted by Jiro Tanaka and Jiro Horikoshi (who then in turn design A6M Zero) conceived a parasol aircraft powered by 600hp Mitsubishi Hispano-Suiza water-cooled V-12 engine, built around a metal frame covered in fabric while the wings was made of wood, the first prototype was completed in May 1928 with top speed of 196mph, the fastest of all design submission. Unfortunately the prototype fell apart in flight.

This is an other papermodel design from Argwenza Kainaka, he only specify it as a non-scale model, but by calculating its wingspan, i guess it is around 1/60 scale, the pdf file contains the model pattern and its instruction manual.

Designer note: "This model is actually a simple model. I'm so sorry for an inaccurate, or missing details."

[FREE] Tachikawa-Kokusai Ta-Go Papermodel

A simple and cheap aircraft made of wood and fabric, this aircraft were designed for kamikaze purpose against Allied forces when Operation Downfall, the proposed Allied plan for the invasion of the Japanese home island kicks off, fortunately for both sides, the war ended before Operation Olympic starts.

The original Ta-Gō, powered by a Hitachi Ha-13 Ko (450hp) and could carry a 500kg bomb was destroyed in a bombing raid while the revised Ta-Gō with smaller airframes, engine, and bomb was left incomplete.

This model was made by Argwenza Kainaka (you can find his Facebook page here), he didn't specify the scale though since it was originally a scratchbuilt papermodel (but he speculated it might be 1:60 from its size). The pdf file includes the model itself and its instuction manual.

[FREE] 1/800 Sverdlov Class Light Cruiser Papermodel

 

Sverdlov Class (Project 68bis), built in 1950-s were the last gun cruiser of the Soviet Navy. While provided with modern radar and anti-aircraft gun Soviet Union had to offer, they were already rendered obsolete by the entry of service with the advent of missile age. Of the planned 40 ships of the class, only 14 completed and remained in service until the 80s.

One of the ship, Ordzhonikidze, was sold to Indonesia in 1963 and renamed IRIAN in 1963 in preparation of  impending invasion of West Papua with the main task of hunting down Dutch aircraft carrier Karel Doorman. 

Actually this model pattern were made as somekind of an study, since i'm still trying on SketchUp and Inkscape, due to such "experimental" nature of the model, there is no assembly instruction available, but you can see the photos from the tesbuild phase as a reference. As for the cannon part, i use  0,3 mm mechanical pencil lead.
