1:72 A6M2 [Nakajima Green]

A6M2 Zero instrument panel 1:72, the Nakajima shade (Yahu Models)

A color photo-etched instrument panel for the cockpit of the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero carrier fighter in 1:72 scale from Yahu Models. It is not an aircraft model but a finished, pre-printed and painted accessory for a cockpit. This variant is matched in color to the interior green of machines built under license by Nakajima, hence the Nakajima Green designation.

The real subject

The A6M2 (Model 21) was the most widely used early version of the Zero fighter. It was powered by a Nakajima Sakae 12 radial engine of around 940 horsepower and the machine stood out for its agility and its long range, with folding wingtips. The Zero was built in parallel by Mitsubishi and under license by Nakajima; their cockpits differed in the shade of the interior green, which is why Yahu offers the panel in two color versions.

Use

• The panel is fitted into the cockpit of a base A6M2 Zero model
• Its color matches the interior of Nakajima-built machines
• It is pre-printed and in color, so there is no need to paint it
• It brings more detail to the dial faces and the labels than a plastic part

Who it is for

• Modelers of Japanese naval aircraft in 1:72 scale
• Collectors who care about the correct cockpit shade for the manufacturer

This is a finished color photo-etched accessory for a cockpit, not an aircraft kit. The base model and glue are not included in the package.
