HGW 1:72 A6M2 Zero Basic Line is an add-on set of fine details for a model of the Japanese A6M2 carrier fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not an airplane kit, but a set that gives a model a more refined look.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set from the Basic Line range of the Czech manufacturer HGW is intended for detailing a model of the Japanese A6M2 carrier fighter in 1:72 scale. It is an accessory for a kit, not the model itself. In 1:72 scale, refinement shows above all on the cockpit and on the small items around it, and that is exactly where the sets of this range concentrate. The exact composition differs between individual sets according to the real subject.
The Mitsubishi A6M, known as the Zero, was a Japanese carrier-based fighter with a Nakajima Sakae radial engine. The A6M2 version was notable for its exceptional range and good agility, bought at the price of a light structure and weak passive protection. On the carrier-based version the wings had folding tips, so that the airplane fitted onto the elevator of an aircraft carrier. The cockpit was glazed with a large canopy giving good visibility, which makes it a prominent visual element on a model.
Prepare the small parts on a surface with a raised edge. Form the fabric items with your fingers and seat them so that they have a natural sag and stand straight in the air nowhere. Cut the photo-etched parts off with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, deburr them with a fine file and bend them in a photo-etch bending tool or between steel rulers; degrease the metal and cover it with a primer before painting. If there are masks in the set, stick them on with tweezers, press the edges down and remove them before the paint has fully cured, so that the layer of varnish does not come away with them.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a standalone model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
