Academy 1/48 A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21: Historical Scale Kit

The Academy 1/48 A6M2b Zero Fighter Model 21 offers a compact project capturing the look and feel of the Zero during the Midway campaign. It is designed to give builders a realistic subject without excessive complexity.

Authentic Lines and Surface Detail

This kit reproduces the Zero's slim lines and characteristic surfaces in 1/48 scale, enabling accurate weathering and paint techniques to emphasise structural features.

Assembly and Paint Guidance

Assembly benefits from careful test-fitting and light sanding; painters will find the surfaces well suited to masking for multi-colour schemes or subtle fading effects.

Collector Appeal

When finished the model makes a compact and informative display piece that pairs well with other Pacific War aircraft models for collectors focused on that period.

Specification Summary

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The cockpit has essential detail for display at 1/48 scale; adding aftermarket decals or photoetched parts will enhance close-up realism.
Standard modelling tools like sprue cutters, files, hobby knife and plastic cement are sufficient. A fine brush or airbrush will help with painting.
The kit is primarily for a parked display pose. With careful modification builders can create a slight variation in control surfaces for a more dynamic look.
