Chip and Fiddler's Green have come out with my Claude, in more than one color pattern, although I only drew the red tail version.
This is a simple model, very quick but pretty plane, if you want a A5M with formers check out Sumato's, his is in a different color scheme as well.

Glen, I'm not sure the model's been officially released. The model appeared in my FG folder a few days ago, and I decided to build it and then provide some feedback--thus my PM's to you. However, other members of the FG forum have stated that the model is not in their folders. I figure once the site is finally ready new models, like the Claude, will be officially released.

So, am I the only one that does not have access to his folders? I have not been able to get to my models for several weeks.

gwssms, you're not the only one. I think I can access mine because I immediately paid the $7.50 to rent my models folder for a year. However, my folder contains some glitches--such as only being able to access a model for 24 hours once I've activated a download. Guess we'll just have to be patient a little longer.

July my friend, you wouldn't consider posting your build? Just so that guys can see the model actually exists?

yeah, like they say in some forums, if there are no pictures, it doesn't exist or didn't happened

The model does exist, you just have to find it on the FG forums.

Pardon the poor pic quality. Every time I start saving for a new camera I end up spending the money on models instead.

Pretty good looking bird here, but....
It looks like camouflage doesn't match from part to part.

You're correct, Michael. That's the first thing I reported to Glen/birder. It turns out this is a version that he didn't paint, and which I'm sure will be corrected before the model's release.

SO? What's wrong with that?
