About product

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

An accessory set from the Czech maker Eduard for a model of the Japanese Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe floatplane fighter in 1:48 scale. According to the name these are folding wingtips made by 3D printing technology. It is not a kit or a finished model but a replacement for the parts from the box, thanks to which the wingtips on a model can be rendered as separate pieces and need not be glued in one piece with the wing.

The real subject

The Nakajima A6M2-N is the floatplane version of the Japanese A6M2 Zero carrier fighter. The design comes from an aircraft originally meant to operate from a deck, where the outer parts of the wings folded to save space. On a model this arrangement is a rewarding detail, because the broken silhouette of the wing reveals at once that this is not out-of-the-box work.

Building tips

First check dry how much plastic has to be taken off the wing, and only then cut. Run the cut along a scribed line and level the rest with a file so that the mating surface is square. Cut the printed parts from the supports with a scalpel and sand the marks with fine paper, with respiratory protection. Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water before painting. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Glue both tips at the same angle, otherwise any asymmetry will be visible at a glance. Stand the model on a level surface while the glue cures and do not handle it.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building the Rufe in 1:48 scale who want the model to stand out from out-of-the-box work
  • diorama builders who need to save space
  • more experienced modelers used to cutting into plastic
  • anyone interested in Japanese naval aviation

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

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory set of parts. You have to own or buy the Rufe model itself separately.

Yes, the wingtips have to be separated from the plastic part. Before cutting, always check dry how much material has to be taken off.

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

Rather not. The work calls for a precise cut into plastic and careful handling of fragile printed parts.
