About product

A6M5 Zero gun barrels and pitot tube 1:72 (Quickboost)

The resin set from the Quickboost brand of the Czech maker Aires brings finely cast barrels for the carrier fighter's weapons and a pitot tube for the model of the Japanese carrier-based Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not an aircraft model but a detailing accessory for more experienced modelers, which replaces the coarser and easily damaged plastic parts with a sharper and more accurate casting.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a Japanese carrier-based fighter of the Second World War with a Nakajima Sakae radial engine and a famous long range. The A6M5 version was among the most widely produced combat variants. The armament was a combination of cannons in the wings and machine guns; their barrels protrude on a model and are easy to see.

Tips for working with resin

First wash the castings in lukewarm water with dish soap to remove mold release agent residue. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw and sand the cut faces with respiratory protection. Glue the barrels and the thin pitot tube with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) only at the end of the build, so that they do not break off, and take care over their alignment. Try the fit dry before varnishing.

Who the set is for

  • More experienced modelers who want to raise the fidelity of a model
  • Builders for whom the soft plastic barrels from the kit are not enough
  • Anyone interested in working with resin and fine castings
  • Competition modelers and collectors

The set is supplied as a resin part, unassembled and unpainted. It is not an aircraft model but an accessory for a plastic kit. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin set of gun barrels and a pitot tube, that is, an accessory that replaces these parts on your A6M5 Zero plastic kit.

Resin. The parts are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), not with ordinary cement for plastic.

Working with resin and with thin castings calls for experience, so we recommend the set rather to more advanced modelers.

The plastic barrels and pitot tube tend to be thicker and are easily damaged; a sharper resin casting looks more faithful.
