Tamiya 60318 Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Fighter Model 52 - Collector Overview

The Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Fighter Model 52 in 1/32 scale shows Tamiya's focus on precision and historical accuracy. This kit recreates the silhouette and key details of the wartime fighter, letting builders assemble a faithful replica of a defining Pacific Theater aircraft.

Design, powerplant and combat role

The A6M5 Zero served as a frontline fighter late in World War II, refined for better handling with a slightly shortened wingspan and streamlining improvements. Its Nakajima Sakae engine and the characteristic rounded wingtips are faithfully represented in this model, along with the prominent 20mm cannon mounts visible on the airframe.

Model Features and Craftsmanship

Tamiya packs this kit with refined cockpit detail, separate control surfaces and realistic metal components for the 20mm cannons and pitot. Builders will find pre-painted machine gun barrels and photo-etched parts that lift the finish, while movable rudder and flaps add pose options for display.
