1:72 Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Model 52 - Japanese Defence Islands

Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Model 52 - the defense of Japan 1:72

This set of waterslide decals in 1:72 scale is intended for a model of the Japanese A6M5 Zero Model 52 fighter. The subject is machines committed in the defense of Japanese airspace. It is not a kit but an accessory that will give a model faithful period markings.

The real subject

The A6M5 Model 52 was the most widespread and more capable version of the Zero fighter, with revised wings and a revised exhaust. In the later phase of the war it served among other things with units committed to the defense of Japanese territory.

Use

The decals are applied the wet way onto smooth gloss varnish. Coat the surface with gloss varnish, release the decal in water, place it and go over it with matte varnish once dry. A decal softener makes it easier to settle onto a broken surface.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building the Zero Model 52 in 1:72 scale
• Anyone interested in the closing phase of the war in the Pacific
• Those who want particular defense markings
• Collectors of decal sets
