Cool Hand Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hi guys, Does anybody know if there is any difference in the canopies between Tamiya's 1:48 A6M2 and A6M5 kits. Eduard has a mask set for the A6M5 but not the A6M2, and I would like to know if it would work on the A6M2. Thanks, -Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daryl J. Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 (edited) Which A6M5 tooling are you talking about? There are two very different kits out. The older of the two is the beautiful A6M5c with cannons and an armored seat, the other is the fantastic benchmark 1/48 kit of the A6M5early. Edited February 14, 2010 by Daryl J.

Cool Hand Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 The Eduard Mask set is for the A6M5a model 52 kit. Not sure if that is the early or late version. http://store.spruebrothers.com/148-tamiya-...103-p15956.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zeus60 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I think Daryl meant, which two kits are you talking about? Tamiya makes two each of the A6M5c and A6M2 in 1/48 scale. List the kit numbers, and that will help. Stacey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daryl J. Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would expect no. The fit would be close but likely enough off that it would be both obvious and bothersome. The toolings are completely different albeit both are very accurate. But others may know elsewise. Daryl J. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
