Historical Background

The Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero is a legendary, late version of the famous Japanese carrier-based fighter from World War II (in service 1943–1945 with the Imperial Japanese Navy). This model took part in the fight for the Pacific, including the Battle of the Marianas, the Philippines, and the battles for the Japanese islands in the final phase of the war. Its characteristic canopy with large glazed areas requires very precise finishing during model construction to faithfully reflect historical reality and the cockpit’s wealth of details.

Usage and Recommendations

The EX1113 set is an essential accessory for any modeler wishing to accurately recreate the interior and exterior details of the A6M5 Zero – especially for models with an open cockpit, on a workshop diorama, or to showcase the pilot's cockpit. The mask allows for quick and easy preparation of surfaces for painting, which greatly simplifies the modeling process and enhances the final aesthetic result. It is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers seeking realistic finishes.

Difficulty level: 2/5. Intuitive application thanks to the precise film – even less experienced modelers will be able to use it.

By using the Eduard EX1113 TFace, you can be sure that the finish of your A6M5 Zero’s cockpit will look professional and true to the original – a product definitely worth its price and recommendation!
