Hi Guys,
K&C is happy to introduce two all‑new, unique versions of the classic Mitsubishi A6M5 ‘ZERO’ fighter. These two ‘Zeroes’ represent typical late‑war variants of this iconic WW2 Japanese aircraft.
A6M5 ‘KAMIKAZE’ (JN078) Finished in overall dark green across the upper surfaces and fuselage, this Zero carries a single 500‑pound bomb slung beneath its centerline. In reality, the pilot would fly both aircraft and bomb directly into his chosen enemy target.
Mitsubishi A6M5 ‘Zero’ Army / Navy (JN079) This second model reflects the desperate state of Japanese aircraft production in late 1944 through mid‑1945. It combines parts and elements from both Army Air Force and Imperial Navy Zeroes, resulting in one of the more unusual color schemes seen defending Japan’s skies at this stage of the Pacific War. Armed with two 20mm cannons and 7.7mm machine guns, it also carries two small bombs (one under each wing).
Also look out for these two standing Japanese pilot figures announced in April’s releases. They make perfect companions for display alongside both new A6M5 fighters and earlier ‘Japanese Army & Navy’ releases featured in our video.
Thanks for watching and... Banzai!
All the best,
Andy
