A.Upgrade Category A category for competing with minute kit detailing techniques. Small scale modeling based on the original historical details (such as its state during its maiden flight, etc) also goes in this category.	B.Painting Category A category for competing with painting techniques for the original standard kit. Painting styles such as 'combat experienced', 'air racer', 'US Armed Forces test craft', etc go in this category.
C.Remodeling Category If you have "what if history had contained this?" ideas, such a two-seater model, a night warfare model, a model equipped with a jet engine, etc.... please use your own ideas to bring out the varied potential of the Shinden.	D.Scenery Category Compete with scenes such as that of an aircraft hanger, or just before a sortie; scenes that have realism, and presence. Vividly realistic models (aviation scene models) also belong here.
