A6M5 Zero scaled for model display

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighter is widely recognised for its role in World War II aviation. The A6M5 variant, or Model 52, arrived in 1943 to meet new combat demands and featured tweaks such as a revised exhaust for extra thrust and reshaped wingtips to improve handling at speed.

Crafting the A6M5 with Tamiya 60779

This Tamiya 60779 1/72 scale kit recreates the A6M5's sleek lines and technical features with care. The molding captures the engine cowling profile and wing changes accurately, and the kit supplies both open and closed canopy options so builders can choose how to present their finished model.

Attention to Detail

The kit goes beyond the outer shell, offering a detailed cockpit and defined landing gear wells to enhance display realism. Included parts for a 300-liter metal drop tank complete the look of the aircraft in operational configuration.
