JeffreyK Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Great, I'm looking forward to this one! Just don't understand why Fine Molds haven't re-released their A5M's.... Jeffrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 (edited) Very excited about this release. I have the CA A5M4. Paid 50 usd on ebay about 5 years ago. It is getting somewhat long in the tooth though. The FM kits are nice, but lacking cockpit detail. This kit looks much better IMHO.

Mike Esposito Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yes. I see the difference between the A5m2a and the A5M2b...mostly in the spine. Hopefully this company will make the earlier version too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
