Clear Prop! CP72006 A5M2b Claude Early Version STARTER KIT 1/72

Clear Prop! CP72006 A5M2b Claude early version STARTER KIT is an exceptional plastic model kit in the popular 1/72 scale, dedicated to both beginner and experienced modelers. The model represents the Japanese carrier-based fighter aircraft Mitsubishi A5M2b "Claude" in its early version, which marked a milestone in the history of the Japanese naval aviation.

Mitsubishi A5M was the first all-metal construction fighter operating from the aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy. This model replicates an aircraft from the 12th Kokutai unit used during the Sino-Japanese War in 1938. These planes participated in air combat during that conflict, paving the way for later designs such as the famous A6M Zero. The operational period of the A5M2b mostly falls in the late 1930s, and the aircraft remained in service until the outbreak of World War II.

The Clear Prop! CP72006 kit consists of five plastic sprues, including one clear sprue. This allows for very realistic detailing of the cockpit and other parts. The set includes a decal sheet enabling the creation of one historical painting scheme. The entire kit is packed in a functional box, which also works very well as an organizer during model assembly.
