Another of my favy enemy planes

By: reddog30110 (Hiram, Ga.)

Love the Japanese zeros. Was one of the fastest japanese planes of its era. Excellent detail on this kit. I hung this one in air used a P-51D as a arial combat scenario. Was a awesome addition to my WWII collection. Also used a Japanese figurine set for when i set it on shelf for ground display. Very nice kit.

This plane is top quality as expected from Tamiya. The fitting is perfect and the detail is pretty good. The decals are very nice too. I totally recommend this plane to beginners for its cheap price and easy assembly.
