1:48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero cockpit 3D PRINTED is a resin cockpit set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard, made by 3D printing. It replaces the plastic interior of a kit in 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory set, not a kit of the aircraft. It consists of a cockpit assembly made by 3D printing in resin, which is fitted into a plastic model of the Japanese A6M3 carrier fighter in 1:48 scale. Printing allows finer detail than an injection mold can manage: sharper edges on the instrument panel, thin seat frames and raised controls.
The Mitsubishi A6M was a single-engine carrier fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The A6M3 version was given the Nakajima Sakae 21 engine with a single-stage two-speed supercharger. The first configuration of this version had clipped square wingtips, while the later one returned to the original rounded shape. The cockpit on this type was fairly cramped and with the canopy slid back it is clearly visible on a model, so the working-out of the interior has a large share in the final impression.
Working with resin. Wash the parts first in lukewarm water with detergent so that uncured resin residue is gone. Cut the print supports off with a saw or a sharp knife, never break them off. Sanding is better done wet, and dry only with respiratory protection, because resin dust must not be inhaled. It is bonded with super glue; ordinary plastic cement will not join resin. Apply a primer before painting, otherwise the paint holds badly on the smooth printed surface. The interior stands out when, after the base color, you emphasize the recesses with a dark wash and the edges with a dry brush.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model in its own right. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package. Check before buying that the set fits your kit.
