About product

Brass antennas for the Mitsubishi A5M Claude (early version) in 1:72

A set of cast brass antenna masts from the Ukrainian manufacturer Clear Prop Models, intended for models of the Japanese Mitsubishi A5M fighter in its early form in 1:72 scale. The metal part holds a scale-fine profile of the kind injection-molded plastic reaches only with difficulty, and unlike plastic it will not bend or break during handling, masking or transport of the model.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A5M, Claude in the Allied reporting system, was the first production carrier monoplane fighter of Japanese naval aviation. This all-metal low-wing aircraft with fixed landing gear and an open cockpit proved itself in the second half of the 1930s in the fighting over China and prepared the ground for its more famous successor, the A6M Zero.

Usage tips

Remove the original plastic antenna, level the seating point and glue the metal mast on with a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue. Degrease the part before painting and use a base coat with good adhesion to metals so that the paint holds reliably. Work on the small parts with tweezers over a light-colored surface so that they do not get lost. At the end, even the finished part out with the rest of the model under a final flat clear coat.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of A5M models in 1:72 scale who want finer and more durable detail.
  • Modelers used to working with metal accessories and cyanoacrylate.
  • Competition builds, where a fragile plastic antenna tends to be the weak point.

This is an add-on set: the model of the aircraft itself is not included in the package.

FAQ

It is designed for the early form of the machine. On the later versions the antenna and its position may differ, so we recommend combining the set with the matching version of the model.

With cyanoacrylate glue, and on larger mating surfaces two-part epoxy can be used as well. Ordinary cement for polystyrene will not bond metal.

Degrease the part, let it dry and lay down a base coat with good adhesion to metals; only then apply the final shade.

No, it is an add-on set of antennas; a kit of the aircraft is bought separately.
