Back in Stock: Eduard 1/48 Kamikaze Tokkotai A6M5 & A6M2-K Dual Combo
The Eduard 11184 Kamikaze Tokkotai Dual Combo in 1/48 scale is back in stock. This dual kit set includes the A6M5 Zero fighter and the A6M2-K two-seat trainer, offering modelers an in-depth look at the aircraft used by Japan’s special attack units late in World War II.
Historical context: The A6M Zero was the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s fighter force throughout much of the Pacific War. By 1944–45, as Japan’s strategic situation worsened, specially designated “Tokkotai” (special attack units) employed both frontline fighters like the A6M5 and converted trainers such as the A6M2-K in suicide missions against Allied naval forces. Though controversial and tragic, these missions remain a significant chapter in the history of aerial warfare, reflecting the desperation and determination of Japan’s final defense strategy.
Kit highlights:
- Dual Combo set with both the A6M5 and A6M2-K in 1/48 scale.
- Highly detailed Eduard molding with historical accuracy.
- Includes multiple marking options for Tokkotai units.
- A unique set for World War II aviation historians and modelers.
