Classic Tamiya 61025 - 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Type 32 Zero model kit for collectors  [61025]

Kit introduction - Tamiya 61025 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Type 32 Zero

The Mitsubishi A6M3 Type 32 Zero, sometimes called the "HAMP", is a notable development in Japanese naval fighters. This 1/48 kit from Tamiya recreates the distinguishing features that set the Type 32 apart, giving modellers a compact yet detailed subject.

Operational role and airframe changes

The main change for the Type 32 was the squared wing tips which aided roll performance, an advantage in carrier operations. Coupled with the Sakae 21 engine, the variant showed improved climb compared with earlier A6M marks.

Assembly expectations for modellers

Tamiya delivers sharp detail and well engineered parts. Builders will find the cockpit and wing assembly require close attention, and the kit rewards careful preparation and standard modelling techniques.

Collector appeal and display options

At 1/48 scale the aircraft makes a striking display model, suitable for cabinets or themed exhibits. Its historical importance and unique silhouette help it stand out alongside other WWII types.
