## Description

N the summer of 1937 Japan started action against China and threw into the front a great number of the newest planes which Japan had created with their original ideas and technique. Concerning fighters in particular, Japan had abandoned biplane type which was counted as the common sense of the then world and already employed the Type 96 Carrier Fighter (96 Kansen) that Japan had produced on the basis of many pieces of new technique and ideas such as all-metal, internally braced low wing monoplane design and the engine cowling designed to reduce air resistance. 96 Kansens always successfully engaed with I-15 and I-16 fighters and SB-2 bombers of Russian make as well as Gladiator fighters of British make. The 96 Kansen appeared as a fighter having a speed as high as 450 km/h and superior maneuverability at the time when conventional fighters of Japan and other nations of the world had a maximum speed of 350 km/h, winning admiration in Japan and abroad. This overthrew the deepfooted view that foreign planes were superior to those of Japan. After the appearance of the 96 Kansen, the modernization of Japan's aircraft industry was rapidly promoted and original planes came to be born.

Review: Excellent Model - Typical Tamiya high quality.
Review: Great plane, easy build - Great looking model for a great price. Looks fantastic when fully built up and painted in the green late war paint scheme with brown prop. Was an easy fast build with a little filler needed for wing roots. Landing gear is a bit tricky.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Model

Typical Tamiya high quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tamiya's excellent old Zero model kit.
*by R***M on August 14, 2013*

Despite being released in the early '70s, this A6M2 Zero still is an excellent representation of the legendary Imperial Japanese Navy fighter of World War II. This model's overall fit is very good, the only place where a gap needs to be plugged is in the left wing root. Detail is better than most other models of the era when almost all models had raised panel lines, whereas Tamiya's zero had some recessed panel lines. Decals may seem a bit thick but will be usable. The molded in seat belts needed to be replaced by a scratch built one or an aftermarket set. Overall, model went together easily and I enjoyed the build. Even though this kit is far from being up to today's standards, with some additional effort from the builder, it can be made into a respectable replica of the A6M2 Zero, and is a great kit for the cost. I would recommend this kit to model builders that have had previous experience with building 1/48th scale WWII fighters and masking canopies because the zero's heavy framing on the canopy can be tricky to mask properly(use Bare Metal Foil to mask, starting by applying a patch of Bare Metal Foil that's slightly bigger than the canopy, then rub on the surface with a swab to let the framework show through, next, trace all the lines with a sharp #11 blade. When you are done, remove the foil from the framed area to expose the framework that will be painted over). Pros: -Mostly good fit, including clear parts. -Reasonably detailed cockpit for closed canopy arrangement. -Good decal choices available(there are 5). -Low parts count=great for people who want a short build or for a novice. -Additional clear parts are included for the builder to model an open canopy. This means that there is no need to carefully cut the canopy into the appropriate size. -Not just one sitting pilot figure included, there's also a standing pilot figure as well. Cons: -Thick and somewhat brittle decals. -Molded seat belts are very faint and will disappear under a light coat of paint. -Panel lines are a mix of raised and recessed.
