About product

An improvement for the Japanese A6M5 from Nakajima production, 1:48

This complete photo-etched set by Eduard devotes itself to the carrier fighter A6M5 in 1:48 scale, and specifically to the machines that came into being at the licensed maker Nakajima. The package brings metal parts for the inner and the outer parts of the aircraft together and is fitted into a kit that the modeler obtains separately. Behind the brand stands a Czech firm from Obrnice near Most.

Who really built the Zero

The type was designed by the firm Mitsubishi, except that it could not cover the demand on its own, and so most of the examples built came in the end from the lines of its competitor Nakajima. The differences between the two sources were not great, but for a modeler they are noticeable, because they concern details of the exhausts, the equipment and small modifications to the airframe. The A6M5 version from 1943 received shortened and rounded wingtips, a thicker skin and separate exhaust stacks used for additional thrust. It was the most numerously built variant of the whole type.

Advice on assembly

Unpack the fret only at the moment you need the parts, as the metal creases easily. Finish the cockpit before you close the fuselage. Leave the surfaces finished in color as they are, and coat the other metal parts with a thin layer of primer after degreasing. When bending, work slowly and rather in several passes, as photo-etch bent the wrong way cannot be straightened again.

Intended for modelers who

  • build the A6M5 in 1:48 scale from the licensed production
  • want the cockpit and the outside alike at a higher level of detail
  • take an interest in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service
  • have experience of working with photo-etched metal

FAQ

Machines from the two production sources differed in details. The set is kept for the form from the licensed production.

You will not. It is a metal improvement that is fitted into a plastic kit acquired separately.

A sharp scalpel, fine tweezers, a hard surface and ideally a bending tool for photo-etch. Without it sharp bends are hard to make.
