A5M2a Claude finished pics

Modeling Subjects Aircraft

Hello all,

Wanted to post pics of my finished 1/72 Fujimi OOB A5M2a Claude (96Shiki Carrier-Based Fighter Type-2-1).

I did it up in the markings for Navy Aircraft Carrier “Kaga”, 1937, South of China.

Really nice build went together sweet, finished in about a week fastest build I think I ever did. [:p]




Please any input would be most welcomed.

Thanks for looking

Cheers
Thom

Looks great, You’re right that is one of Fujimis better kits.

Looks very nice. Good to see something other than the basic green or gray on a Japanese fighter.

Great job, nice and clean! And it´s good to know that I´m not the only 1/72 die-hard around here!![:D]

Very nicely done. The Claude was a world-class plane in its time.

Thom,

Your Claude looks great!

I’ve read stories about how Japanese Claude pilots would turn their planes so tightly that they’d put wrinkles in the skin of thier wings. They were apparently pretty maneuverable planes.

Regards,

Thomas, very nice build and paint job on the Claude. I’ll have to find that kit to add to my collection. Thanks for sharing.

Tom,

Very nice work on the Claude. I do most of my modeling in 1/72 scale too. Thanks for posting your pictures. I hope to see more of your work.

Dan, it was a really nice build, went together great very little filling needed. If you get a chance to get one go for it, you will not be disappointed [:)]
