It's not the Shinden, Donuel, it's the Shiden. The Shiden is a conventional fighter which was developed from the Kawanishi floatplane "Rex". It's a midwing monoplane, conventional arrangement, was used in '44-'45 by the Japanese Navy. Revell made a 1/32 scale kit of it in the early 70's, and it's become very rare. There are, however, plenty of Shidens in 1/48 scale, including Tamiya's and the new Hasegawa rendition, both excellent kits.

In the UK we have the greatest Prime Minister that ever was....the problem is...nobody has worked out who it is yet! So He or she is not in office.
