This Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M5/5a Zero Fighter model kit recreates a compact, high quality representation of the famed Japanese Navy fighter. It is suited for builders who value correct proportions and authentic surface detail.

Role in history and kit choices

The A6M5/5a Zero was a significant late war variant that featured performance and equipment changes. The kit supports building either the Type 52 (A6M5) or the Type 52 Kou (A6M5a), and includes decals for three notable squadrons to reflect historical paint schemes.

Precision parts and assembly options

Tamiya provides detailed cockpit fittings, an accurately modelled engine and well engineered landing gear. Builders can show cowl flaps open or closed and select flap positions on the wings for a dynamic finished model.

Diorama and display features

Included canopy masks, spinner options and alternate drop tanks make this kit flexible for display work. The mix of seated and standing pilot figures helps create realistic ground or cockpit scenes for dioramas.
