In early engagements, the Zero proved so effective that pilots were able to post an almost unbelievable victory ratio of 12 to 1 against their adversaries. As the Wehrmacht began its march across Europe in 1940, little attention was being given to developments in the Far East. Following years of re-arming and upgrading, the Japanese Navy could boast some of the most advanced naval aircraft in the world within its inventory, including the superb Mitsubishi A6M Zero. This long range Naval fighter would be at the forefront of Japan’s expansionist ambitions throughout WWII and in the early war years, proved to be unequalled in the Pacific region. Possessing exceptional maneuverability, the Zero quickly earned a reputation as a dogfighter and Allied pilots quickly learned to avoid a slow, turning fight with this beautifully balanced aircraft. As the fighter aircraft to beat in the Pacific, American pilots soon developed tactics that avoided playing into the hands of the Zero and began to score victories. As newer fighters began to enter service, the A6M Zero began to show its weaknesses, which were a lack of armour protection for the pilot and no self-sealing fuel tanks in the wing. Using their ‘boom and zoom’ hit and run tactics, the Americans finally began to get the measure of the feared Zero. From the Manufacturer The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was a long range naval fighter aircraft that formed the backbone of the Imperial Japanese Navy's Air Arm throughout the Second World War. Blessed with exceptional maneuverability, as well as long range, the Zero proved to be the best carrier fighter aircraft in the world when it made its debut in China in 1940 and then again in the opening stages of the Pacific War against the United States. ## Features - 1: 72 scale plastic scale model kit - Skill level: 1 (where 1 is for the beginner and 4 is for the more experienced modeler) - Number of parts: 47 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0055ANHD2 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | model building | | Brand | Airfix | | Brand Name | Airfix | | Color | Navy | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 683 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05014429010057 | | Included Components | 1 unassembled airplane | | Item Dimensions | 5 x 6.5 x 3 inches | | Item Part Number | A01005 | | Item Type Name | Military Aircraft Plastic Model Kits | | Item Weight | 3.2 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 5 x 6.5 x 3 inches | | Manufacturer | Hornby | | Manufacturer Part Number | A01005 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero | | Model Number | A01005 | | Number of Pieces | 47 | | Paint Type | Oil | | Product Style | Realistic | | Scale | 1:72 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero | | Size | Small | | Subject Character | Air craft | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 754295245270 433599160945 783329013622 799457357910 | | Warranty Description | 90 day warranty against manufacturer defects | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Airfix - **Color:** Navy - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 5 x 6.5 x 3 inches - **Theme:** Military ## Images ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero Model Building Kit, 1:72 Scale, Navy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LqL3BbVUL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero Model Building Kit, 1:72 Scale, Navy - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fJymcyUYL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero Model Building Kit, 1:72 Scale, Navy - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71isE7GjdOL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero Model Building Kit, 1:72 Scale, Navy - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FERrsd0vL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero Model Building Kit, 1:72 Scale, Navy - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713KIvd1ctL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on November 3, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***A on September 12, 2020* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***. on December 17, 2020* ## Frequently Bought Together - Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero Model Building Kit, 1:72 Scale, Navy - Airfix Focke-Wulf Fw190A-8 1:72 WWII Military Aviation Plastic Model Kit A01020A, Unpainted --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1748704-airfix-a01005-mitsubishi-zero-model-building-kit-1-72-scale](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/1748704-airfix-a01005-mitsubishi-zero-model-building-kit-1-72-scale) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
