kkarlsen Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I've tried to recreate a vignette, based this photo of one of the planes of Matsuo Hagiri together with some of his 'colleagues' on board the carrier Soryo. The Special Hobby kit is 'High tech' in the sense that it's including resin details of the engine and cockpit, as well as fret of photoetched details. https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/1/1/a5m4-claude-hi-tech-1-32.html?&listtype=search&searchparam=A5M4 Build thread is here: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/94082-mitsubishi-a5m4-the-father-of-the-zero/ Thanks for looking....

tomg Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I've always thought 'posing for a photo' would be a great dio/vignette. You have really done it well. Congratulations. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations. Well the photo was kind of inviting to do that, the only one thing that's missing is the photographer Thank you very much, all! It was the first time I ever did a Japanese plane, and if it wasn't for Ondrej at Special Hobby, I still hadn't. Now on to other adventures... or the shelf of doom?

John Stambaugh Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Very well done sir. Would like to see this at a show next to the photograph framed. A respectable tribute to these young pilots. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
