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

    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

                Steve just Beautiful the background makes the whole thing “Pop”. I echo Rick one to be proud of.
