About product

Aires A5M2 Claude control surfaces 1:48 (resin)

This accessory from the maker Aires is not an airplane model but a set of resin control surfaces for building the Japanese A5M2 Claude carrier fighter in 1:48 scale. It makes it possible to replace the wing and tail surfaces cast in one piece with separate ailerons, an elevator and a rudder, which can be deflected to give the model a livelier, realistic attitude.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A5M, given the Allied code name Claude, was a Japanese single-seat carrier fighter of the 1930s. It was an all-metal low-wing monoplane with fixed landing gear and an open cockpit, one of the first modern carrier fighters of its day.

Usage tips

Wash the mold release residue off the resin parts, cut off the casting blocks and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Deflect the fitted surfaces naturally and symmetrically; fill any small gaps and sand them down with respiratory protection.

Who the accessory is for

  • Modelers of Japanese prewar aircraft in 1:48
  • Anyone interested in a dynamic attitude of the control surfaces
  • Builders who work with resin
  • Competition and display-case models

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It replaces the fixed control surfaces with separate parts that can be deflected to give the A5M2 Claude model a more realistic attitude.

No. It is a resin accessory for the basic kit in 1:48 scale; the aircraft model is not included.

Cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); cement for plastic does not hold on resin.
