JackG Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) This is Fujimi's 1/72 scale A5M4 Claude in the kit's provided markings of a Soryu based aircraft, Dec. 1940. Clear orange was mixed into aluminum and steel metalizers, and sprayed on to simulate the possible protective amber varnish. A final satin clear was applied overall. Masks for the Hinomarus were cut from masking tape using a circle compass cutter. regards, Jack Edited April 19, 2014 by JackG 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
