Eduard SIN64883 A6M2 Zero Model 21 ESSENTIAL EDUARD 1/48 is a complete set of dedicated accessories designed to enhance the realism and detail of the legendary Japanese fighter Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Model 21 in 1/48 scale. This product is intended for modelers using Eduard’s series of plastic model kits of this aircraft, making it a perfect addition to any modeling workshop.

Historical and Technical Information

The Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Model 21 is one of the most famous fighter aircraft of World War II, widely used by the Empire of Japan in the Pacific between 1940 and 1943. The aircraft was distinguished by its maneuverability, long range, and excellent performance in the early stages of the conflict, and took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as the battles of Guadalcanal and Midway, among others.

Set Contents and Materials

• 648693 – Wheels for A6M2 in 1/48 scale (resin, detailed tread and accurately reproduced wheel rims)
• 648695 – Main landing gear (bronze landing gear legs – provide strength, durability, and easy installation even for heavier models with photo-etched parts)
• 648722 – Exhaust set (3D printed – very thin walls and accurately reproduced exhaust layouts allow for a high level of realism)
• 648692 – A6M2 Zero Type 21 Cockpit (3D printed, ultra-precise details of the instrument panel, structural frame elements, seats and side panels)

All components are made from high-quality resin or produced with 3D printing technology, which means you get unparalleled surface quality and crispness of detail that traditional plastic molds cannot offer. The metal landing gear legs provide reassurance about the model’s construction, preventing the model from 'sagging' under its own weight over time.

Category and Recommendation

Eduard SIN64883 is an "upgrade" set for a plastic scale model kit in 1/48 scale, dedicated to intermediate and advanced modelers who care about historical realism and the highest level of detail accuracy. The assembly difficulty is rated at 4 out of 5 – precision is required, along with experience working with resin parts, and skills in using 3D printed details and bronze landing gear legs.

We highly recommend this product to all aviation modeling enthusiasts and fans of Japanese aviation history who want to take their A6M2 Zero Model 21 to a higher, professional level of display!
