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. ## 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 | |---------------|-------| | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | model building | | Asin | B0055ANHD2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 522,411 in Toys & Games (See Top 100 in Toys & Games) 1,236 in Pre-Built Scaled Model Aircraft | | Brand Name | Airfix | | Colour | Black,Yellow | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (689) 4.6 out of 5 stars | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05014429010057 | | Included Components | Modellbausatz | | Item Dimensions | 12.7 x 16.5 x 7.6 centimetres | | Item Part Number | A01005 | | Item Weight | 91 g | | Manufacturer | Airfix World War II Military Aircraft | | Manufacturer Part Number | A01005 | | Material Type | Plastique | | Model Number | A01005 | | Number Of Pieces | 47 | | Product Style | War | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Special Features | Model Building, Detailed Kit, Adult-oriented | | Subject Character | Air craft | | Target Audience | 2403 | | Theme | Vehicle | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Upc | 754295245270 433599160945 783329013622 799457357910 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Airfix - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Theme:** Vehicle - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 12.7 x 16.5 x 7.6 centimetres - **Material:** Plastic ## Images ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero 1:72 Scale Series 1 Plastic Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LqL3BbVUL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero 1:72 Scale Series 1 Plastic Model Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fJymcyUYL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero 1:72 Scale Series 1 Plastic Model Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71isE7GjdOL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero 1:72 Scale Series 1 Plastic Model Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71FERrsd0vL.jpg) ![Airfix A01005 Mitsubishi Zero 1:72 Scale Series 1 Plastic Model Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713KIvd1ctL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ its a very nice model it all went together well only a little ... *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 March 2017* just finished this kit. This is my first kit of the new tooling Airfix kits, its a very nice model it all went together wellonly a little mr surfacer was needed on a couple of seams. ok ive given it five but i do have a few gripes about the kit.First the rear cockpit bulkhead that you attach the seat too both lower lugs were missing, second the control column broke into tow while being removed from the sprue despite using cutters.Third the yellow decal strips for the leading edge of the wings would not conform to the curve of the wing despite copious amounts of decal soloution, so i had to resort to airbrushing the yellow strip.despite these small problems i consider the kit to be well worth a look and value for money so much so that ive already purchased the same kit but under the kit number A01005A and i intend to do this one as a Pearl Harbour Zero so i'll need to purchase some aftermarket decals for this.It is also the first model that ive built that i have put a wash on to bring out the panel lines which i bought through amazon ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent kit: good value for money *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 6 February 2022* Kit is excellent. Parts fit well with nice surface detailling. Transfers are also sized correctly though the yellow wing transfers were not used so am unable to vouch for those. The refuel point on the wing is tricky to glue on and easy to snap off but otherwise a very pleasent build. Extremely good value at £5.99! Finished model looks reasonably like a Zero from photos at 1:72. A shame only one scheme is provided or would definitely get more than one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Image does not match product!! - But great kit *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 15 April 2013* Image is for 1941 "pearl Harbour" finish, but Item delivered is 1944 dark green finish (one finish option only). Product code is correct though, so google A01005 to see what you will receive. The image/finish shown appears only to come as a starter set or dogfight double.However, the kit received seems like a VERY nice little kit, with plenty of detail. Very clean etched (sunken) lines throughout, detailed radial engine front, and cockpit: which comprises of side details inside fuselage plus a few nice peices to assemble (and then surprisingly uses a decal for the main instrument console!). Single piece canopy, which although maybe not as thin and clear as those expected in some of the more expensive Japanese kits on the market right now, it is still good by Airfix standards. The rest of the kit certainly does hold its own in this market (and you get a pilot :)One finish option: 201st Kokuta, Tabera Airfield, East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, 1944 - Dark green upper, light beige/green belly.So, although the image is extremely misleading, and I have not got the aircraft I thought I was buying, I have to say this little kit has completely blown me away with its fantastic detail, hence 4 stars. ## 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.co/products/67442968-airfix-a01005-mitsubishi-zero-1-72-scale-series-1-plastic](https://www.desertcart.co/products/67442968-airfix-a01005-mitsubishi-zero-1-72-scale-series-1-plastic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
