TAMIYA 1/48 MITSUBISHI A6M5/5A ZERO FIGHTER (ZEKE)

Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M5/5A Zero Fighter (Zeke) Plastic Model Kit

The Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M5/5A Zero Fighter recreates the later Model 52 and A6M5a variants in detailed 1/48 scale, with accurately reproduced elongated proportions, engine cowling, cockpit and landing gear well details.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; cement, paint and finishing supplies are not included and are required to complete the model.

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was the Japanese Navy's main fighter throughout WWII. In the latter half of the war, the Model 22 was refined to create the Model 52 to counter new U.S. aircraft such as the P-38 Lightning and F4U Corsair. The Model 52 featured 50cm shorter wings with rounded wingtips, individual exhaust pipes and a top speed of 565km/h. The A6M5a was produced with a larger-capacity, 125-round belt-type cannon ammunition system from February 1944.
