The Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighter is a landmark WWII aircraft and a favourite for scale modellers. Tamiya's 12624 detail-up set helps bring extra realism to your 1/48 model by supplying finely made parts that lift the overall presentation.

How difficult is the Tamiya 12624 set to fit?

The parts are designed for model builders with some experience. Simple hand tools, steady hands, and basic glue work are usually enough, but tiny metal pieces can be fiddly.

Will these parts fit other 1/48 Zero kits?

They are made to match common 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M shapes, but fit can vary by kit. Test-fit and minor trimming may be needed for non-Tamiya model variants.

Any tips for painting the metal parts?

Prime bare metal first with a suitable metal primer, then use thin coats of paint. For the cannon barrels, a satin black or gunmetal gives a realistic look.
