The J2M3 is simple to build for the average kit builder. The model is constructed entirely of balsa and plywood. The horizontal stabilizer, elevators and vertical fin are all 1/8" sheet balsa.

The fuselage is scale in plan and profile and consists of 1/16" and 1/16" balsa or ply formers and 1/16" balsa sides. The fuselage is assembled using an internal jig that is removed after the fuselage sheeting is installed. Formers are slid in place on the jig and 3/32"x3/16" stringers are added. Once the stringers are in place the upper and lower 1/16" balsa sheeting is glued to the frame.

The wing is all balsa and assembled flat on the work bench. Templates for all wing ribs are included on the plans. The horizontal stabilizer, elevators and vertical fin are all 1/8" from solid 1/8" sheet balsa.

Plans for the J2M3 "Raiden" were developed using available 3-view illustrations and profile images of the aircraft captured from IL2 Forgotten Battles flight simulator by UBsoft. The drawings and illustrations are imported into AutoCAD and used as a guide for development of the model 3-view. Once the 3-view is completed the construction details are worked out based on the ouline drawings.
