Detailed Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M5a Type 52 KOH Bomber Model

The Hasegawa 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M5a Type 52 KOH Bomber kit reproduces the Zeros slim profile and control surfaces with tidy moulding. This limited edition item is aimed at modellers who value period detail and a faithful small-scale representation for cabinets or clubs displays.

Significance and Attraction for Modellers
