About product

The A6M3 model 22 and the A6M5 model 52 in 1:48

The item completes a model already obtained with more accurate glazing. The cover is formed in the closed position and relates to two particular production forms of the Japanese naval fighter, which differ from the early machines in the wing.

Two faces of the late Zero

The model 22 meant a return to the long rounded wing, but already with the more capable powerplant that the form with clipped tips had received before. The combination brought range and better behavior at altitude. The model 52 then shortened the wing again, this time with rounded tips, and received individual exhaust pipes led along the fuselage, which added a little extra thrust. The differences in the wing and in the exhaust are precisely what tells the two forms apart most conspicuously, while the pilot's compartment stayed similar on them.

Practical instructions

  • Trace the outline before cutting; a thin area tempts you to cut too low.
  • Seat the closed cover so that the front frame follows the cover of the instrument panel.
  • Press the masking covers down in the corners as well, otherwise paint gets under them.
  • Lead the final matte or semi-gloss overcoat across the masked glazing.

Intended mainly for

Collectors of the late versions of the Zero and modelers who tell individual production forms apart. It also suits a build with no uncovered interior. A closed cover at the same time simplifies finishing, because the inside does not have to be worked out to the last rivet.

FAQ

The model 22 had a long rounded wing, the model 52 a shortened wing with rounded tips and individual exhaust pipes along the fuselage.

The shape of the pilot's compartment stayed practically the same on them and the differences lie outside the cockpit. One cover thus served both builds.

Handle the part through soft paper and leave the finished glazing covered with a masking layer until the end of the build.
