Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter Type 21: Modeller Overview

The Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter Type 21 is recreated in 1/72 scale by Hasegawa, offering a faithful miniature of this influential WWII fighter. The kit emphasises correct contours and surface detail so builders can produce an authentic looking model with careful finishing.

Background and collector interest

The A6M2 served as a primary fighter for Japanese naval aviation early in the war, prized for its range and agility. Hasegawa's casting captures the look of the type, making it a worthwhile subject for those who build historically themed collections.

Hints for finishing and weathering

Work in stages for painting and weathering to maintain crisp panel lines. Use reference images to guide paint tones and apply decals with a setting solution for a more integrated appearance.
