Osprey Modelling - 25: Modelling the Mitsubishi A6M Zero

More about the book

The A6M Rei Shiki Sento Ki (meaning Type Zero fighter) was the result of an order by the Imperial Japanese Navy for a low-wing monoplane with superior speed, range, climbing powers, and manoeuvrability. It famously served as a fighter escort during the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, and ended the war as the kamikaze plane of choice. This book provides a detailed guide to modelling this popular aircraft across a variety of scales, and features an A6M2-N Rufe, a kamikaze A6M5c, an A6M2 model 21, and a captured A6M5b of TAIC #7, as well as a gallery and walkaround section.Contents· Introduction · Tools of the modeller · A6M2-N Rufe (1:48) · Kamikaze A6M5c (1:72) · A6M2 model 21, Pearl Harbor (1:48) · Captured A6M5b, TAIC #7 (1:32) · Zero gallery · References and further reading · Zero colour matrix chart · Zero walkaround · Kits and accessories available · Index · Colour reference chart
