Hasegawa H08884 1/32 Mitsubishi A6M5C Zero Fighter (Zeke) Type 52 Hei

This is a detailed kit of the Type Hei, the latest production model of the Type 52, the main carrier-based fighter of the latter half of the war , which was reinforced with bulletproofing and was heavily armed!

Originally, the Zero was designed as an air superiority fighter-meant to take down opposing fighters with superior maneuverability and speed. As the war wore on, however, more and more American bombers were making it, unescorted, to their targets in Japan. This variant of the Zero carried an additional pair of 13.2mm machine guns as well as rockets and a thicker wing. All these changes made it less suitable for fighter-to-fighter combat but better for bringing down the massive B-29. Kit features pilot figure and two sets of IJN decals.
