Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M5/5A Zero Fighter - Collector overview

The Tamiya 10317 - 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M5/5a Zero Fighter Silver Plated Model Kit gives collectors and hobbyists a chance to assemble a faithful 1/48 representation of one of World War II's most recognisable naval fighters. The kit reproduces the aircraft's slender lines and includes a silver-plated finish that enhances display presence on the shelf.

Authenticity and scale accuracy

The Mitsubishi A6M5/5A Zero Fighter is notable for its wartime role and distinctive silhouette. Tamiya's tooling captures those proportions in 1/48 scale, making the model suitable for display and diorama projects where historical appearance and accuracy matter.

Assembly notes for experienced builders

This kit is aimed at modellers who enjoy a moderate build challenge. Parts are moulded for good fit, and the cockpit and landing gear assemblies include fine detail that rewards careful painting and careful gluing.

Display qualities and collecting fit

Finished, the model makes a strong addition to themed World War II collections. The silver-plated surface and detailed undercarriage help the Tamiya A6M5/5A stand out when displayed with other 1/48 aircraft.
