A6M5 Zero modelled in faithful 1/72 scale

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighter stands out as a key WWII naval aircraft. The A6M5 or Model 52 was fielded in 1943 with changes to improve performance, including a modified exhaust for more thrust and reshaped wingtips for better aerodynamics.

Building the 1/72 A6M5 with Tamiya 60779

Tamiya 60779 captures the A6M5 profile and engineering details in compact scale. The kit includes moulded features that reflect the refined engine cowling and wing alterations, plus both open and closed canopy pieces so you can decide how to display the completed model.

Attention to Detail

Interior areas such as the cockpit and the wheel wells are modelled to improve display realism. The set also contains parts for a 300-liter metal drop tank to represent in-service equipment accurately.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Length: 126mm
  • Wingspan: 153mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Includes parts for open/closed canopies and a 300-liter drop tank
The kit is aimed at intermediate modellers but is manageable for patient beginners who follow instructions and use modest modelling tools.
The kit includes a metal-style 300-liter drop tank part to reflect the aircraft's operational loadout; it is designed to look authentic when painted.
Use a fine brush or airbrush for base colours, then apply washes and drybrushing to bring out instrument panels and seat details for a realistic finish.
