Tamiya 60780 - 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Fighter Model Kit - detailed 1/72 scale modeller edition  [60780]

Discover the Tamiya 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Fighter

The Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero was prized for agility and range, taking part in major early war actions including the assault on Pearl Harbor and campaigns in the Philippines. Tamiya's 1/72 model faithfully recreates the aircraft's profile, offering modellers a compact but authentic representation of this wartime fighter.

Construction highlights and kit features

The kit benefits from refined tooling on the wing, fuselage and cowling to improve fit and accuracy. A slide-moulded one-piece engine cowling gives a smooth outer surface, while cockpit fittings and gear wells include crisp moulding for added realism. These touches help the model read well at 1/72 scale.

Included are three decal choices, allowing builders to finish aircraft in different historical markings, including examples tied to early Pacific theatre operations.

Building tips and presentation

Builders should expect a rewarding assembly that benefits from patience and accurate painting. The completed model makes a handsome display piece, showing off the Zero's slim lines and period details in a compact footprint.
