Scaling the A6M5 Zero for model enthusiasts

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighter earned its place in aviation history as a principal naval fighter. The A6M5, known as Model 52, entered service in 1943 with targeted refinements like an improved exhaust for additional thrust and modified wingtips to refine aerodynamic behaviour.
