Scale Tribute to the A6M2 Zero Fighter

This Tamiya 61509 model reproduces the Zero Fighter Type 21 at 1/48 scale, reflecting the aircrafts role during the early stages of the Pacific War. The kit emphasises accurate surface detail and period lines for museum-style displays.

Animated Prop and Pilot Detail

A compact micro-motor is fitted in the nose to animate the propeller, creating a convincing static-motion effect on your shelf. The included pilot figure and the vertical display stand let you present the model as if in flight.

Operational Background and Livery Choices

The A6M2 was central to naval air operations of its time, and the kit includes decal options for five different liveries so modellers can pick unit-specific markings.

No special tools are required beyond standard modelling tools. Careful trimming and a steady hand are useful when seating the motor in the nose section.
Enamel and acrylic hobby paints both work well; match tones to reference images for the A6M2 Zero and use a fine brush or airbrush for smooth finishes.
Yes, the model suits diorama use. The vertical stand can be omitted and the airframe mounted on a custom base to recreate runway or carrier deck scenes.
The kit supplies decals for five different markings, allowing you to represent a variety of squadrons and aircraft identities from the era.
