A6M5c Type 52 Zero Fighter 1/48 Scale Tamiya 61027

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was used by the Japanese Navy throughout WWII, and this Model 52 Hei variant was an attempt to counter ever faster and more powerful U.S. aircraft. The two wing-mounted 20mm machine guns were joined by an additional two 13mm guns, together with the 13mm nose machine gun making a total of five. Cropping and rounding off the wingtips reduced the wingspan to 11 meters. This variant of the famed Zero fighter flew until the end of the war.
