The Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (also known as Zero or Zeke) is a Japanese single-engine, full-metal low-wing fighter from the Second World War. The flight of the prototype took place on April 1, 1939, and it was put into service in the summer of 1940. The first prototypes were powered by a Mitsubishi Zuisei 13 engine, but from the A6M2 Model 11 onwards, the Nakajima NK1B Sakae 12 engine with 950 HP was used, which made the aircraft one of the best fighters early war period. New versions were created just before and during the war. One of the most famous was the A6M2 Model 21, prepared at the beginning of the Pacific War and its special version with folding wings for aircraft carriers, which became the basic Japanese on-board fighter. m. The next versions are A6M3 and A6M5, each of which had several versions. The first one used the 1130 HP Nakajima Sakae 21 engine with a compressor, which, however, meant an increase in weight and a decrease in range and maneuverability. Attempts were made to solve this problem in the A6M5 version by changing the exhaust system, changing the shape of the wings and resigning from folding them, which increased the top speed. The flight of this version took place in 1943 and was in production until the end of the war. It is worth noting that one of the most widely produced versions of the A6M5 was the A6M5C Model 52C «Hei» aircraft, of which nearly 5,000 were produced. The "Zero" planes took part in the entire war in the Pacific, serving primarily as deck fighters, but also to a large extent as Army fighters. The "father" of this famous aircraft was the engineer Jiro Horikoshi, who relied on the experience gained from working on the M5A aircraft. He managed to develop a very maneuverable plane, with excellent aerodynamic properties, perfect for combat and with a large range. However, this was achieved at the expense of armor and the lack of self-sealing fuel tanks. What's more, due to the lack of aircraft engines with a power comparable to American machines, every year of the war, "Zero" from the "supercar", from 1943, evolved towards an increasingly weaker rival P-51, P-47 or F-4 or F- 6. It also turned out to be a machine vulnerable to damage and very vulnerable to fire. However, this does not change the fact that the Allies, until 1943, did not have an aircraft that would be able to compete with the A6M Zero. Technical data (A6M2 model 21 version): length: 9.06m, wingspan: 12m, height: 3.05m, maximum speed: 533km / h, rate of climb: 15.7m / s, maximum range: 3105km, maximum ceiling 10000m , armament: fixed - 2 20mm Type 99-1 cannons and 2 7.7mm Type 97 machine guns, suspended - up to 250 kg of bombs.

Looking forward to final result!
Thanks bro!
I'm impressed that you went to the extra effort to drill out the flattened oval ends of the engine exhausts. I'm looking forward to seeing the end result. The spark plug wires - though finicky, are kinda expected nowadays, though I remember when it was unusual for modellers to bother with 'em. Good job on the landing gear, too!
Thank you David Smith. I'm quite happy with the wires, as for the first try, I think they look OK.
Do you have any recommendation for the green color for this aircraft? It is quite confusing, so maybe you have completed some Japanese, and can share your view on that?
Just come across your videos. Very impressive work and very helpful for a “just returned to model making after 46 years” individual such as me! I’m looking forward to watching all your videos and taking copious amounts of notes. Keep on keeping on!
@gordonlangdon780 Thank you very much, and welcome back to the club :) I wish you lots of fun with modelling! :)
Super nice model so far. I'm really enjoying the step by step process. Your techniques are very helpful to many of us modelers all over the world.
Thank you Darren. I'm happy you watch and enjoy my videos!
Great stuff.
Thank you.
Nice progress 👍
Thank you.
Next is paint. I will gladly hear any suggestion for the green color :).
I have Tamiya X-5 - but it looks too bright, and Tamiya XF-27 - this one look too dark for a change :)
That·s perfect ...Congrats...
Thank you
That's a big one.nice
Thank you.
Any suggestion for the green color is welcome as I'm going to paint it now :).
I have Tamiya X-5 - but it looks too bright, and Tamiya XF-27 - this one look too dark for a change :)
@@modelfun You can use olive green + black (20%).
Thanks, I will try that!.
Mitsubishi built aircraft had their wheel wells painted the aircraft’s bottom color , gray . Nakajima built aircraft painted them with the blue green Aotake .
Hi Gojira 1970. Thank you for your comment. I will consider that when choosing decals and painting option. From what I saw, Mitsubishi painted the tail stripe straight, and Nakajima had this wavy line to the stabilizers and forward. Both options are in this kit. So if I already painted Aotake wheel wells I should stick to Nakajima scheme.
So far I saw a lot of discussion on the JPN colors for Zero, and also some regarding wheel wells. There are many different opinions, as always when it comes to colors. I think the JPN and Luftwaffe colors are the most discussed topics on every forum :)
Anyway I'm more convinced to your version by what I saw so far.
Cheers !
