1/32 Mitsubishi A5M 'Claude' (Andy's WWII Japanese Aircraft GB)

[stona]

Here's the completed model.

The person most impressed that this is being contributed to this most excellent GB on 3/9 is the contributor himself

Anyway, without further ado, here's one of my virtual walkarounds:











Big thanks to Andy for proposing the GB. This definitely got me out of my comfort zone! I don't know a fat lot about Japanese aircraft and I'm always wary of natural metal or aluminium finishes, making this a good experience and enjoyable too.

That looks splendid Steve. Excellent finish, and the backdrop isn’t half bad either

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Wonderful stuff Steve as always. Love the background too

 

[Gern]

Beautiful

 

[Mini Me]

One to be proud of Steve...glad you left the "midget" pilot in the box
