As Allied aircraft\nsuch as the P-38 Lightning and F4U Corsair began to outclass earlier Zero variants, Mitsubishi\nintroduced the refined Model 52 (A6M5) to restore combat effectiveness.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe A6M5 featured shorter wings with rounded tips, individual exhaust stacks, and a reinforced\nstructure that allowed for higher dive speeds and improved durability. With a top speed of\n565km\/h, it became the standard Zero variant during the latter half of the war.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nIn February 1944, the A6M5a was introduced with an improved belt-fed 20mm cannon ammunition\nsystem, increasing capacity to 125 rounds per gun. These aircraft fought in the Solomons,\nMarianas, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and over the Japanese home islands until the end of the war.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/48 scale plastic assembly kit accurately reproduces the A6M5 and A6M5a Zero Fighter with\nexceptional attention to proportions, surface detail, and cockpit realism. Multiple build\noptions, pilot figures, and marking choices make it an ideal centerpiece for any WWII aircraft\ncollection.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50356541784311,"sku":"MH_TAM61103_HH","price":66.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/73f7f7657d443fd6f51b1e6c174b61c2.jpg?v=1765846655","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/mitsubishi-a6m5-5a-zero","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
