About product

Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero 1:48, an Eduard bundle of accessory sets

A combined package of accessories in 1:48 scale from the Czech manufacturer Eduard, intended for building a model of the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero fighter. This package belongs to the line in which Eduard brings several separately sold accessory sets together into one bundle: the modeler does not have to assemble the upgrade piece by piece and has everything needed together in one box. The ESSENTIAL designation is the name of this combined line, not a description of a particular part. The exact list of contents differs from bundle to bundle according to the type of aircraft, so go through it in the manufacturer's catalog before buying.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A6M was a single-seat carrier fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy, exceptional in its day for range and agility, but at the price of a light structure with no armor and no self-sealing fuel tanks. The A6M3 version received the Sakae 21 engine with a single-stage two-speed supercharger, which improved performance at higher altitudes. On one of the subversions the wing tips were shortened for better agility and roll rate, on a later one the span returned to the original shape; on a model that is a difference you see at once, so check which subversion your kit covers.

Building and painting tips

First wash any remains of the mold release agent off the resin parts, cut off the casting blocks with a saw and true the face; when sanding, work with respiratory protection. They are bonded with super glue. Separate photo-etched parts with a scalpel, degrease the faces and make the bends in a bending tool. A base coat is necessary on both metal and resin before painting, otherwise the paint will not hold. Finish the cockpit and everything that will be inside before you close up the fuselage.

Who the bundle is for

  • Modelers who want to take the A6M3 in 1:48 scale to a higher level of detail
  • Those who prefer one purchase to collecting sets one at a time
  • More experienced builders with some practice in resin and photo-etch
  • Collectors who build display pieces of Japanese fighters

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

FAQ

No. It is a bundle of accessory sets that are fitted into a plastic A6M3 kit in 1:48 scale. You have to obtain the model itself separately.

It is the name of the combined line in which the manufacturer brings several separately sold sets together into one package. It does not designate a particular part or material.

The contents differ from bundle to bundle according to the type of aircraft. Go through the exact list in the manufacturer's catalog before buying.

Working with resin and photo-etch calls for different tools and glues than an ordinary plastic kit. If you are starting out with them, allow for a slower pace and try a smaller set first.
