A 500 kg bomb for the Mitsubishi A6M5 and A6M7 Zero in 1:48 scale from the Czech manufacturer Eduard is a resin accessory for a model, not an aircraft kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not an aircraft model but an accessory: an external store bomb of the 500 kilogram class rendered in 1:48 scale and intended for models of the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M5 and A6M7 Zero fighter. The accessory belongs among resin and printed parts, which are marked by sharp edges and a fine surface texture that injection molding in plastic cannot reach. The exact contents of the package, the number of parts and whether racks and pylons are included are not stated here.
The Mitsubishi A6M was a Japanese carrier-based single-engine fighter with a radial engine, whose later versions were adapted to new tasks. The A6M5 was the most numerous fighter variant with a reworked wing and a strengthened structure, while the A6M7 was the variant adapted to carry a heavier store under the fuselage, which called for a reinforced airframe and reworked drop tanks. It is for this role that this external store bomb is intended.
Before painting, wash resin and printed parts in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent so that any mold release agent or print resin residue disappears, otherwise the paint will not hold. Cut the casting blocks and the print supports off with a saw or a knife, not with cutters, and sand the surface; wear respiratory protection while sanding, as resin dust must not be inhaled. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), as cement for plastic does not bond resin. Apply a base coat before painting, otherwise the top shade is easily scraped off a smooth surface. Try the store dry so that the bomb sits in the right position and parallel with the axis of the fuselage.
This is an accessory, not a kit. The aircraft model, the glue, the paints and any tools are not included in the package.
