Now i remember why i choose the japanese designs as my favorite field.
Like the italian they had a unique Design though the appearance of the Airplanes wasn't uncommon at all.
Like those round but at the same time sleek and elegant design..

That is a nice machine 👍
Your color looks quite pale compared to the box image, but that can also be due to the light. The box picture will be so beautiful and noble with the strong dark gold and the colorful stripes ... But I assume you will manage this!

Hi Frank, thank you...
After all decals are applied and all decoration is painted it will become a mix of smoke and silk clearcoat
I hope that this will give the colors more depth and shine.

In fact that golden effect appeared as result of a fading clear coat on a alu finish!
In german its called „vergilben"!
But it is rather theoretical!
In pics the original looks rather faded and pale in
A lot areas!
But hey i like the shiny look of it somehow????

Hi Mate: it is about 80% Aluminio 71.062 Vallejo
15% IJa Khaki 71.287 Vallejo
5% Yellow 71.087 Vallejo
and thinned the whole mixture 70/30 with Vallejo Airbrush thinner
Cheers Daniel

Grrrmblhhfjxx I think i Have to spray all the decals.. started already with the Hinomarus last pic.
The Decals crumbled to pieces whn touching them in dried condition.
Always the same mess with the Fujimi Decals... too thick or too thin...

Fully agree, the Fujimi decals are definitely not worth considering them😉

@ Łukasz: you can consider the decals, as templates for cutting masks😉
Daniel, the golden touch on the last pictures in really nice. You created a nice little bird!

Hi Guys, thank yu all for your kind words... But it is not ready yet.
I sprayed all the decals new, except o the wing bands. I used a hairdryer but was not focused enough and limped the antenna 🙂 canopy have to be redone😉
I am Gad most of you like the colors.. iam quite satisfied too .. That red of the tail is delievered from Bunrindo as not deep red instead it was a
purple red tone. But this coul also have been a weathering effect caused by paling by the sun. Who knows..
I like it that way..
Now just some more details ( wire, signal lights etc..and a smoke semimatt coat)
@Frank that is the best use or them.. 🙂

This was faster than I can do a cockpit! 😄 The gold turned out really nice in the final, not at all toy-like! Very nice and unique-looking plane 👍

Fantastic, Daniel. Very nice gold effect!
Beware... Is it possible that the red line of the tail does not seem to be straight at the bottom due to the masked effect? I think gold color have a little red in that area (pic 24).

There should be a question like do you really want to ... damn
Thank you Andy, Greg and Frank much appreciated 👍

Many years ago I build my A5M4 in 1/72 scale model from Nichimo (the only kit in old time...), in recent years another A5M2a from Fujimi, and A5M2b from Doyusha. both of better quality; last year I bought one !/72 scale A5M4-k (AVI Models 72004) made in CZ, I HOPE TO BUILD THIS YEAR; your model is very good and I will use as reference point for my next work; only one doubt with the figure: perhaps in 1939 the Japanese Navy pilot dont wear the flag hinomaru on the suits arm (it was common from 1944 until 1945...) ?

1Frank thats an honour of your mouth..Thank you Sir.. 👍

Whew! I shared that same panic when I also accidentally deleted an entire album while trying delete a single image. A beauty like this can't stay deleted long though... the public outcry would have been defeaning.

Very nice ! I like FineMold kits, they are amazingly... fine 😉 I made their A5M prototype from The Wind Rises in 1:48, and just got their civilian Ki-15 Kamikaze kit. Maybe one for you too, in 1:72 ?

Hi Boris, yes the Ki.15 is in my stash and i will give it a go in time..
But this is the Fujimi tooling🙂
@Lukasz yap but still got the Hasegawa (mania) here and your result inspired me to get the Combo edition of the Ki.15 by them.
Thank you Clifford mate, much appreciated 👍
