Well after my monster Bomber build of nearly 1500parts I just wanted something simple and easy to play with so here is the Mitsubishi RJ-36 Torpedo Bomber "Trudy" to the english speaking world. As a simple build it has moving flaps and control surfaces but nothing else (ah, sigh of relief at not having to unstick everything multiple times), armed with 1 torpedo and 4 mgs (plus 1 rear defensive one, the gunner was left at home so it doesnt move). I dont tend to build anything Japanese for a few reasons (my grandfather suffered at their hands, he was an AA gunner in Burma before becoming a POW) but they have some simple camo schemes, so enjoy.

RJ’s chief designer’s been captured by the japs now.... he’s not having the best war is he! :) Looks like it could have been an early 30s aircraft replacing biplanes.
Very nice plane . I agree with you, a simple construction also has charm .
Looks neat for fictional ,but the landing gear to me are a bit funky,
