The pilot sat well-forward in the design, just aft of the engine compartment, in an open-air cockpit covered only by a windscreen to his front and a raised fuselage spine to his rear. This being a navy aircraft, the A5M was fitted with an arrestor hook and could also sport a centerline fuel drop tank for increased range over water. The design was capped off by a conventional empennage with applicable tail surfaces. Armament was adequate for the time of the A5M's inception into service, this being a pair of 7. Other than that, Claude has little else to offer in terms of offensive punch. In this part of the world, the A5M was actually responsible for the first monoplane-versus-monoplane air battles in history, this being between the Japanese and the Chinese in the 2nd Sino-Japanese War. Before the arrival of the A5M, Japanese airmen were at the mercy of their Chinese counterparts, suffering an inordinate amount of losses with little to show for it. The A5M soon returned air superiority back into Japanese hands in a short time becoming the Empires most important asset of the war. Peashooters were of similar design with their open-air cockpits, radial piston engines and static faired-over undercarriages. Beyond that, the A5M served on through the Battle of Coral Sea to which they were, by now, replaced by the A6M "Zeroes" in number and inherent usefulness. As a second-line fighter, they fit the bill perfectly when called to action as kamikaze suicide implements in the waning months of World War 2 while also becoming the mounts of choice for fighter training of a new generation of Japanese airmen. While the Ka represented the first six prototypes, the A5M1 became the first production model for the Navy, fitting the Kotobuki 2 KAI radial engine of horsepower. The instrument panel is comprised of PE with clear acetate gauge faces. Harder-Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo :. Once the cockpit is captured between the fuselage halves the builder is directed to assemble the beautifully molded, multi-part Nakajima radial. The inscribed fasteners around the periphery of the center cowl parts are just fantastic. Single-piece ailerons complete the wing, which is then offered up to the assembled fuselage. The builder is given the option of building the main gear normally or without the spats—nice. With this many pieces provided as single parts, assembly should be fast and easy. Underwing stores include a belly tank and two bombs with associated hard points. The windscreen and canopy parts are crystal clear and crisply molded. The decals, by Decograph, are well printed with good registration, hue, and color density. Airframe stencil data and markings for 4 airframes are provided as well as follows:. Man, what a kit! The engineering is simple, the layout is conventional, and the parts count is acceptable. The biggest surprise of this kit is the beautifully rendered surface details—Wowza! This is a kit that will repay careful painting and weathering with a stunningly detailed final finish: amazing work, Wingsy Kits. Highly recommended! Remember me Log in. Lost your password? Introduction: I arrived at Skyway Models just as a slew of new kits were being pulled out of shipping boxes. What people say Dan Hello, I was looking at the A5M page and saw that there are two different front views of the A5M with a caption noting the difference. I think I can shed some light on that difference. The top view appears to be of an A6M "Zero" the gear looks to be retractable. The lower view does look like the A5M, however. Thanks for your time. I have enjoyed building your models, too, and think you have a great site. Keep up the great work. Sincerely, Keoki Gray. A5M 'Claudes' in the field waiting for the skies over China to clear. Mitsubishi A5M Front view note the different wing dihedral arrangement compared to the frontal view below. Mitsubishi A5M side view. Mitsubishi A5M Top view. Designer Glen sends THIS front view and note that there is a difference between the front view shown in color above.. This shows us that there really isn't a lot of good information about the Mitsubishi A5M. Forums / IJAAF Library / Mitsubishi A5M (Claude) - Axis and Allies Paintworks

Codenamed "Claude" by the allies, the A5M saw extensive during the Sino-Japanese War from onwards and was still in frontline service when Japan attacked Pearl Harbour and began the invasion of Southeast Asia. Towards the end of , it began to be replaced by its more famous successor, the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. However it is entirely plausible that Claudes continued in service in rear areas such as Borneo where Biggles encountered it in Biggles in Borneo. Biggles met a Claude while out on his first patrol from Lucky Strike with a formation of two Beaufighter. The pretty lines of Japan's designs, and history of powerplant development interesting as well the British radial engine design Bristol Jupitor had a major influence it seems on the development of Japan's radials, even though Japan took off from there Thank you very much for solving this problem, as always is a pleasure to shop from you!!! Keep on the good work!!! Great job with the Mitsubishi I hope I'll see more planes and tanks in the future!!

I placed them wrong, but caught it in time to correct it. Anyway, with most parts in mostly the correct position, I began painting with covering the cockpit with a layer of AK Xtreme Metal Duraluminium. This was sprayed over with hairspray and Tamiya XF, using water to chip the paint. Instrument panels were painted Mr Hoby H Here I also ruined the instrument panel decal as I applied it too soon, and it adhered to the paint. With the fuselage halved glued together, it was time for the engine. The kit includes ban additional resin engine, but also has a normal plastic engine. The increase in detail is minimal, while providing a lot of headache when fitting it in the cowling. Unless you like building resin engines like me, I would honestly just use the plastic one. Attaching the engine was a nightmare. The engine was slightly too large for the cover, so I had to hollow it out. The kit provides options for an external fuel tank, 2 30kg bombs and a gun camera. I decided to go with the bombs as those seemed more interesting. The kit actually comes with an additional PE set for the bombs. Apparently the bombs were to be in two parts in earlier design stages.

The second prototype was fitted with a revised wing, and after various changes to maximize maneuverability and reduce drag, was ordered into production as the A5M. With the Ka demonstrating excellent performance, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force ordered a single modified prototype for evaluation as the Ki The Army then produced a specification for an improved advanced fighter to replace the Ki Chinese Nationalist pilots, primarily flying the Curtiss Hawk III, fought against the Japanese, but the A5M was the better of almost every fighter aircraft it encountered. Though armed with only a pair of 7. The Mitsubishi team continued to improve the A5M, working through versions until producing the final A5M4, which carried an external underside drop tank to provide fuel for extended range. Air battles in , especially on 18 February and 29 April, ranked among the largest air battles ever fought at the time. This version, used for pilot training, was dubbed the A5M4-K. K version aircraft continued to be used for pilot training long after standard A5Ms left front-line service. Almost all A5Ms had open cockpits. A closed cockpit was tried but found little favor among Navy aviators. All had fixed, non-retractable undercarriage. Wheel spats were a feature of standard fighters but not training aircraft.

A5M1-A5M4 : constructed by Mitsubishi. Upon removing the rather flimsy lid, a robust cardboard box, complete with an additional tabbed lid, is found underneath—very nice. Having to stack the kits in my stash for space, I greatly appreciate these heavy-duty cardboard boxes and wish more manufacturers would use them. The initial impression is one of amazing, darn near unbelievable detail. The surface details, in particular, are so fine that I became aware of the perfectly rendered slotted head screws on a belly panel only after a photograph of the belly was zoomed in during formatting. With this much fine surface detail, this model is going to look fantastic under paint and washes. Parts layout and engineering are conventional. I was unable to find one bit of appreciable flash on any sprue and the sprue gates are small and placed for ease of removal. The instrument panel is comprised of PE with clear acetate gauge faces.

The Mitsubishi A5M , also known in the Japanese Navy as the Type 96 carrier-based fighter was a single-seat single engine monoplane fighter with an open cockpit and fixed undercarriage. Designed for service on board the aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy, it was the world's first monoplane carrier fighter when it entered service.
