Historically, the tailwheel of the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero model corresponds to the part used on one of the most recognizable Japanese fighter aircraft of World War II. The A6M2 Zero served with the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service from 1940, seeing action in battles such as Pearl Harbor, Midway, and throughout the Pacific Theatre until the end of the war.

The tailwheel in the model is crucial for realistic recreation of individual Zero variants, since the original part was finished differently depending on the series and specific use (carrier or landbased operations). The 3D-printed resin enables extremely precise reproduction of the rubber tire's structure and attachment detail, making this product stand out among classic plastic components.

Eduard 648772 A6M2 tailwheel PRINT will suit both advanced modelers seeking perfection and intermediate enthusiasts who want to upgrade their model’s appearance. Assembly difficulty: 2/5 – the part fits easily to Eduard kits, and the included paint mask greatly simplifies the realistic finishing of the detail.

We highly recommend this set to all aviation modelers and collectors of Japanese World War II aircraft who value top quality and attention to historical accuracy.
