About product

FineMolds 1:72 A7M Reppu - photo-etched set

This add-on set from the Japanese manufacturer FineMolds holds photo-etched parts for sharpening up a model of the Mitsubishi A7M Reppu fighter, Allied code name Sam, in 1:72 scale. It supplies the fine elements that injection-molded plastic cannot capture in a matching thickness. The set is not an aircraft model in itself; it is an accessory.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A7M Reppu was a Japanese carrier-based fighter of the late Second World War, intended as the successor to the famous A6M Zero. Only prototypes and a small number of production machines were completed and it practically never reached combat, yet it is among the interesting development types of the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service.

Use and tips

The photo-etched parts are separated with a sharp knife on a firm surface and bonded as a rule with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Make the bends along the score line, ideally in a bending tool. Degrease the parts before painting. The set raises the realism particularly around the cockpit and the fine surface elements.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to lift the detail of an A7M Reppu model beyond what comes in the box
  • More experienced builders with a background in working with photo-etch
  • Collectors of Japanese fighters in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone building a model for contests and display cases

This is an add-on photo-etched set, not a kit. The plastic model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
