About product

A clear cockpit canopy in the open position for the Zero, 1:48

The set contains a vacuum-formed clear canopy for the pilot's compartment for the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M3 model 22 and A6M5 model 52 carrier fighters in 1:48 scale and, with it, masks for spraying its framing. The shape matches the slid-back position, so a finished piece can stand in a display case with the cockpit uncovered and show the seat and the instrument panel.

The two versions of the Zero the set covers

The model 22 came about as a reaction to the shortened range of the variant with clipped wing tips: Mitsubishi returned the long folding tips known from the model 21 and kept the stronger Sakae 21 powerplant. The model 52 went the opposite way: the span was reduced again, the tips received a rounded shape with no folding and the exhausts were led out individually to add a little thrust. Both forms of the famous Zero flew with the Imperial Navy in the second half of the war.

How to handle a vacuum-formed part

Cut the clear molding out with a new blade and a small overhang and finish the edge on fine abrasive paper laid on a flat base until it seats with no pressure. It pays to try the seating dry and only then to reach for an adhesive that dries clean and does not fog the surface.

Who the set is useful for

  • builders who want the pilot's compartment uncovered
  • modelers with a worked-out interior that is meant to be seen
  • those interested in Japanese naval aviation in forty-eighth scale
  • collectors who want to set their piece apart from an ordinary build

FAQ

Yes, the combination of a vacuum-formed canopy and masks follows directly from the name. The extent of the sheet is not stated here, however.

The open version has the molding formed into the slid-back position, the closed one follows a shut cockpit. Choose one of them according to the intended pose of the model.

For 1:48 scale, as the name states. Another scale cannot be derived from it.

It calls for patience in cutting out and sanding the edge. Anyone who has worked with a vacuum-formed part before will have no trouble.
