Eduard 491522 A6M2-K upgrade set is an advanced photo-etched detail set dedicated to the 1/48 scale plastic model of the A6M2-K aircraft, produced by Eduard. This high-quality kit allows for significant enhancement and enrichment of the model's appearance, increasing its realism and bringing the final effect closer to the original Japanese trainer – a version based on the famous Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter aircraft.

A6M2-K is the two-seat version of the legendary Zero, designed mainly for training pilots of the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. These aircraft were used from 1943 both for training and auxiliary tasks in the final phase of the war, including in occupied areas and bases within Japan. The characteristic elongated canopy and the clearly visible second instructor's seat are distinguishing features of this Zero variant, which allowed pilots to prepare for the toughest combat challenges of the Pacific Theatre.
