The latest addition to our YouTube channel (DX Modelworks) is a two part series detailing the restoration of a 26.5″, rubber powered Mitsubishi A5M “Claude.”
The model was originally built in February 1989 by Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome (oldrhinebeck.org) founder Cole Palen, who was an avid, prolific and brilliant free flight modeler. The plans were sourced from the October 1945 issue of “Model Airplane News” and enlarged significantly.
The series concisely documents the restoration of the model and provides a rare glimpse at Cole’s building techniques. Click below to check it out. If you’re pleased with what you see, please consider subscribing to the channel. Likes and shares are also greatly appreciated!
