The Mitsubishi A6M2b "Zero" is one of the most renowned Japanese fighter planes used during World War II. It was widely used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during battles in the Pacific, including the Battle of Midway and the attack on Pearl Harbor. The landing flaps were one of the key structural elements of this aircraft, contributing to its maneuverability and low approach speed, which gave it an advantage over Allied planes.

The Eduard 481105 set allows modelers to recreate, with exceptional attention to detail, the characteristic structure and texture of the landing flaps that are not available in standard plastic kit parts. This enables you to build a model displaying a high level of realism, closely imitating the true appearance of the operational aircraft.

Due to the specifics of photo-etched details, this set is mainly intended for intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level: 4/5) who are equipped with the necessary tools and experience in soldering and bending metal components. Anyone wishing to create an accurate replica of the A6M2b will fully appreciate the added value these realistic landing flap details bring. When combined with proper assembly and painting techniques, they will elevate the quality of any model to a semi-professional level.

We recommend this set to all enthusiasts of Japanese aviation, lovers of historical World War II models, and collectors who value perfect finishing and a high level of detail. Eduard 481105 is an investment for demanding modelers who appreciate authenticity and extraordinary realism!
