About product

A6M Zero pitot tube – 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This fine resin casting replaces the pitot tube (airspeed probe) of the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero carrier fighter in 1:48 scale, in the A6M2 as well as the A6M5 versions. This slender element on the leading edge of the wing tends to be too coarse in plastic; the resin replacement offers a more faithful, thinner and crisper rendering. The part is intended for modelers who want to refine the look of the machine without laborious rework.

What the part is for

The pitot tube is a small but clearly visible element on the wing, and its delicacy contributes to the overall impression of a model. The casting captures the thin profile and the end of the tube, which cannot easily be achieved with a thicker plastic part. Once cleaned up and painted, the wing of the Zero looks more faithful and convincing in scale.

Usage tips

  • Wash the part free of mold release residue in lukewarm soapy water
  • Cut off the casting block carefully and sand the surface with respiratory protection
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue
  • Handle the slender part with care so that it does not break

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the A6M Zero fighter (A6M2 and A6M5) in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers who want a faithful, thin tube with no rework of the plastic
  • For lovers of Japanese carrier aircraft and fine detail

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin pitot tube that completes a kit you already own. The base airplane model has to be bought separately.

It is shaped for the Mitsubishi A6M Zero in the A6M2 and A6M5 versions in 1:48 scale as a replacement for the pitot tube.

It is easy, just handle the slender part with care. It is cut from the casting block and glued with cyanoacrylate glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
