The Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero was one of the most famous fighters of World War II, used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during Pacific battles, including the Battle of Guadalcanal and on the Solomon Islands. Its distinctive landing gear wheels, clearly different from standard versions, are a standout detail that can be reproduced with exceptional accuracy thanks to the Eduard Brassin set. The precision-cast resin ensures realistically replicated tread patterns, and the included mask allows perfect painting of tyres and hubs, significantly enhancing the appearance of the finished model.

Assembly of the Eduard 648799 set is intuitive and does not require advanced modelling skills – it is recommended for both intermediate and advanced modellers interested in increasing the realism of their Zero model. We rate the assembly difficulty as 2 out of 5, mainly due to the simple wheel replacement process and the helpful painting mask included.

Eduard 648799 is the perfect solution for discerning modellers who value detail and authenticity, as well as for collectors of World War II dioramas. The quality of workmanship, dimensional accuracy, and ease of assembly make this product highly recommended for any Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero model in 1/48 scale.
