Quickboost QB48312 A6M2/5 Zero Pitot Tube 1/48 – Detail Set

Quickboost QB48312 is a high-quality detail set dedicated to modelers assembling scale plastic models of the famous Japanese fighter aircraft Mitsubishi A6M2/5 Zero in 1/48 scale. This product allows for a faithful replication of the detailed pitot tube mounted on the wing of this airplane. The pitot tube played a key role in accurately measuring the aircraft’s speed during flight, which was of great operational significance.

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was one of the most important Imperial Japanese Navy fighter aircraft during World War II (years 1939–1945). It took part in many key battles in the Pacific, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, and the fighting on the Solomon Islands. The A6M2 and its more advanced variant, the A6M5, were versions characterized by excellent maneuverability and long operational range, making them formidable adversaries for the Allies in the early years of the conflict.

The Quickboost pitot tube is made from top-quality resin, providing outstanding detail and perfectly capturing the intricate geometry of the original part. Thanks to resin casting technology, the finest details—which are hard to achieve with traditional injection-molded plastic sets—are accurately reproduced. This part is intended as a replacement for components offered by manufacturers such as Tamiya, Hasegawa, and Eduard, enhancing the realism of the finished model.
