Tamiya 60317 1/32 A6M2b Zero Model 21 Scale Display Kit  [60317]

Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Model 21 - Detailed 1/32 Scale Kit

The Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero Model 21, known as 'Zeke', was a pivotal fighter in early wartime naval air forces. Renowned for its combination of range and agility, the Zero shaped carrier tactics in its era. This carefully modelled 1/32 kit captures its defining silhouette and historical significance for display and study.

Build characteristics and surface fidelity

The model measures 283mm in length with a 375mm wingspan and uses precision slide moulding to retain subtle panel lines and surface features. The Nakajima Sakae type 12 engine is reproduced with fine detail, including the propeller reduction unit and exhaust layouts to enhance realism under the cowling.

Modellers can fit interchangeable folded or extended wingtips and operate the movable landing gear, rudder and flaps for varied presentation. Photo-etched seat belts and metal items for landing gear and the pitot tube are included to refine the finished appearance.

Display choices and accessory set

The kit supports static and posed displays, offering retractable landing gear and a display stand. It comes with both standing and seated pilot figures, plus seven marking options tied to aircraft involved at Pearl Harbor, together with wheel chocks and boarding steps for realistic scenes.
