About product

Eduard 1:48, 3D printed exhausts for the A6M2-N Rufe

An accessory set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the Japanese Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe floatplane fighter in 1:48 scale. According to the name these are exhausts made by 3D printing. It is not a kit or a finished model but a replacement for the parts from the box. Exhausts are among the places where plastic parts leave the strongest mark on the final impression, because the opening tends to be blind and the wall too thick. A printed replacement is usually hollow and has thinner walls, so the model looks more convincing even without further work.

The real subject

The Nakajima A6M2-N came about by converting the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero carrier fighter into a floatplane with a large central float and two auxiliary floats under the wings. It was used where no runway was available. The radial engine of the aircraft exhausts its gases around the circumference of the cowling, so the exhausts are clearly visible from outside and quickly become covered with the typical rusty and sooty deposit.

Building and painting tips

Cut the printed parts off the supports with a sharp scalpel; never snap them off. Sand the remains of the supports with fine paper and protect your airways while doing so. Wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent before painting. They are bonded with super glue. For painting, a dark metallic base proves itself, over which a rusty and brown shade is applied, finished with a sooty pigment at the opening. Fit the exhausts only after the fuselage and the engine cowling are sprayed, otherwise you will have to mask them.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building the Rufe in 1:48 scale who are bothered by blind plastic exhaust openings
  • builders who enjoy working with weathering and metallic shades
  • those interested in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service
  • those who finish a model to display-case standard

This is an add-on to a model, not a kit. The model itself, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a set of replacement exhausts, that is an add-on to a model. You have to own or buy the kit itself separately.

Plastic parts tend to have thick walls and a blind opening. A printed replacement is finer and looks more convincing once painted.

Super glue. Ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on this material.

A dark metallic base proves itself, with rusty and brown shades over it and a sooty pigment at the opening at the end.
