Eduard EX318 A6M3 model 32 1/48 TAMIYA – masks for the Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero fighter model

Eduard EX318 is a professional set of masks designed for the Mitsubishi A6M3 Model 32 (Hamp) fighter aircraft model in 1/48 scale, dedicated to Tamiya kits. The Japanese A6M3 Model 32 fighter is one of the most famous aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy, used intensively during World War II, especially in the years 1942–1943 in the Pacific, including the battles of Guadalcanal.

The A6M3 Model 32 was characterized by a new, clipped wing and Sakae 21 engine, which increased its speed at the expense of maneuverability. This aircraft was used mainly by Japan and stood out during air battles over the Solomon Islands archipelago. Despite the appearance of increasingly modern Allied aircraft, the Zero Model 32 went down in history as a symbol of Japanese air superiority in the early part of the war.

Eduard EX318 are precision-cut masks made from high-quality yellow vinyl film. They make it easy to protect canopy glazing and landing gear wheels during the painting process. This addition speeds up painting work and makes the final results exceptionally aesthetic and professional.
