Historic Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Fighter Recreated in 1/48

The Tamiya 21148 kit recreates the Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Fighter, showing the Type 52-Kou used by the 343rd Flying Corps in the 1944 Guam campaign. As a Masterwork Series piece, the completed model emphasizes accurate finishing and the backstory of the aircraft that was later repatriated, including the pilot's flag.

Proportions and Model Features

This 1/48 scale representation captures the A6M5's profile precisely. The fuselage length is 190mm with a wingspan of 229mm, yielding a well-balanced display model. Key inclusions are pad-printed markings, detailed photo-etched items, and a seated pilot figure to complete the scene.

Weathering and Authentic Touches

Carefully applied weathering and burn-effect treatments on the exhausts deliver a realistic operational look. Metal details like pitot tubes are incorporated to enhance authenticity, making the kit suitable for display cabinets and dioramas.
