Classic 1/48 scale Tamiya kit of the very famous Japanese World War Two-era fighter. The kit was first released in 1973 but details and molding have held up very well. Includes markings for 5 Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft including 1 from the aircraft carrier Akagi as it appeared during the Pearl Harbor attack: Akagi Aircraft Carrier Fighter Group AI-101(Shigeru Itaya) | Light grey 253 Air Corps 253-102 (Tetsuzo Iwamoto) | Rabaul January 1944 | Dark green 261 Air Corps 110 | Kagoshima Base February 1944 | Dark green 3 Air Corps X-183 (Yoshiro Hashiguchi) | Kendari base, Celebes Island March 1942 | Light grey Tainan Air Corps V-103 (Saburo Sakai) | Densar base, Bali Island February 1942 | Light grey The fuselage and wings have the both recessed and fine raised panel lines. The engine is just the forward face. Two canopies are included in the kit, one with parts for an open canopy and the other a closed canopy.

This is a great little kit! Goes together very well! Typical Tamiya quality! Great for a weekend (or any day) project! Nice decals lay down nicely. Need to get more for a great diorama!

Can't fault the service. Models are well packaged
Will be ordering again

Really a nice model kit of the Zero airplane. A lot of detail and fit is good. Well worth the price. Thanks.
