A5M2b "Claude" M4H 48hr 2023
1March 11, 2023This is how I started - just past 7:30pm Friday in Singapore UTC+8.
I've got the Wingsy Kits A5M2b "Claude" (early version) a micro motor, a pilot stolen from anther kit and a frame I'm planning to use for mounting.

6March 11, 2023we have ignition! motorising was a stretch goal, but the way Wingsey have designed the engine makes it quite easy to mount a micro motor .. controlled by a microprocessor .. it's a micro machine😉
7March 11, 2023engine detail coming together!
8March 11, 2023a bit of head-scratching later and I figured out how all the engine parts fit together!

18March 11, 2023a pity it's all going to be hidden away, but I blew my morning time budget on the cockpit. the kit makes it pretty irresistible!

20March 11, 2023Saying goodnight Friday - got most of the subassemblies ready: have ignition; got air! Hopefully it'll all just fall together tomorrow.

24March 11, 2023Since the plane is in-flight, I need a pilot! I stole this from the Tamiya Ki-61 Hien kit and did a rapid paint job. I have a feeling the flying kit is a little too advanced for the Claude but, hey..

28March 11, 2023not enough time to paint my own background, so I tropical storm picture from a calendar (shot in Darwin actually)
29March 11, 2023
30March 11, 2023put the electronics on protoboard and installed in the rear of the frame
31March 11, 2023stuck on the wall (to give it time to cure before I add the load of the plane)
32March 11, 2023a few coats of H8 later and I'm ready to call it a night (Sat). Just got final paint, decals weathering and installation for Sunday. Pretty confident of finishing this in 48 now!
