The professional photo-etched parts set Eduard 32494 A6M2 Zero Landing Flaps in 1/32 scale was developed specifically for the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero model by Tamiya. This is a high-quality set, dedicated to modelers who expect the highest level of detail reproduction when building historical WWII aircraft models.

• Scale: 1/32 – compatible with the Tamiya A6M2 Zero model
• Material: precisely photo-etched metal sheet
• Parts: complete set of wing flaps (landing flaps), detailed bays and structural ribs
• User country: Japan, Imperial Navy
• Historical period: World War II (1940–1945)

The Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero was one of the most effective carrier-based fighters of the early years of World War II and a symbol of Japanese air power. This aircraft participated in crucial operations such as the massive attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, and fierce fighting over the Pacific islands, especially the Solomons.

In plastic models, the wing flaps are often depicted in a rather schematic way—and the standard Tamiya set is no exception. Thanks to the Eduard 32494 set, modelers have the opportunity to build extremely realistic, opened flaps, whose real-life construction was richly ribbed and intricate. Each photo-etched fret allows for precise reproduction of details impossible to achieve in plastic form, emphasizing the authenticity of the replica, especially in dioramas or models displayed with extended wing elements.

This product belongs to the category of model accessories: "photo-etched parts for plastic models." It is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who have experience with precise assembly of thin metal details and working with super glue or other adhesives dedicated to photo-etched parts. Difficulty level: 3/5.

Eduard 32494 offers a perfect addition to any 1/32 scale A6M2 Zero collector's model—allowing you to turn even very good plastic models into true, competition-grade replicas. An essential upgrade for all who are passionate about Japanese aviation and World War II history and who value realism and attention to detail.
