A5M2b "Claude", Special Hobby 1/32

[BigZimmo]

Hi folks!!!

News from my workbench: it's Special Hobby's "A5M2b Claude" in 1/32 scale. You all know shortrun kits and know about the difficulties with the assembly. Also with the "Claude". But it was nothing you can not cope with.
Built out of the box. Colours from Revell, Gunze and Vallejo.
Pilots are from CMK....absolutely great!!!

Cheers
Stefan

Very nice build Stefan, love the presentation.

These kits can be a real challenge but in 1/32 it is often short run kits as the only way to get a particular subject. I have one of their Yak 3 kits in the stash which will be a far cry from the Tamiyas I have been building just lately.

A fantastically looking Aircraft and something rarely seen.
I really like the way you have displayed your work too giving it the oriental look and feel to this.

Kind regards

Robert
