A5M4 Claude from Special Hobby, 1:32


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm presenting my Special Hobby's A5M4 Claude in 1:32 scale - model represents the machine from Soryu carrier, pilot PO1/c Matsuo Hagiri, summer 1939. The kit contains numerous resin and PE parts, so I did not use any other aftermarkets. Painting was done using Mr. Hobby Super Metallic metalizers and acrylics.

Hope you enjoy!

Wow - that's some finish! What a super looking job you've made of that. It looks like just the right amount of sheen on it too - something I constantly struggle with.

Cheers,

Thanx! It was my first attempt to do such metal coat. Simply used SM01 from gunze on Gloss Black primer and the result surprised me. Positivelly ;) Great paints!

That is a stunning looking build.

I've always liked the look of the Specialhobby kit, how was the build?

Thanx!

It is not bad kit, but some areas require more attention. I had same problems with fitting cockpit and wings. Thick wing edges are also problem, as typically in short runs.
