Capturing the A6M5 Zero in miniature

The Mitsubishi A6M Zero Fighter is noted for its role as a frontline naval fighter. The A6M5 or Model 52 was rolled out in 1943 to counter evolving enemy fighters, carrying updates such as an enhanced exhaust for better thrust and rounded wingtips to refine flight characteristics.
