Mitsubishi A6M5c Zero Fighter 1/32 Hasegawa

Originally, the Zero was designed as an air superiority fighter – meant to take down opposing fighters with superior maneuverability and speed. As the war wore on, however, more and more American bombers were making it, unescorted, to their targets in Japan. This variant of the Zero carried an additional pair of 13.2mm machine guns as well as rockets and a thicker wing. All these changes made it less suitable for fighter-to-fighter combat but better for bringing down the massive B-29.

Please see the paint guide below for the manufacturer’s suggested colors.
