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.

you produce lots of movies, great job
Senkju!
Very nice work on the paint. I like the colors as it is just enough different from the so many others that I have seen online - thanks for sharing
Thank you @Ralph Ford.
Perfection !!....
Are you building the same model?
Hi Rafal great progress so far. Very professional and well thought out. Its going to be another beauty! One detail however needs correction. In the title you called it the Nakajima A6M5 but this is incorrect. While Nakajima did in fact build the A6M5 under license for the parent company Mitsubishi it wasn't considered a Nakajima design. However you did paint it correctly for a machine built by Nakajima as there are noted differences. These included the demarcation line for upper and lower surfaces, as well as cowling, cockpit, and spinner colors. I myself plan to build a Mitsubishi built A6M5 so I felt compelled to research the differences that existed between the two manufacturers.
Hi Darren,
Thank you. The wave on the tail was characteristic for Nakajima built aircraft.
Terrific build... Part 3 I assume you meant in the title ;)
Thank you. Yes, I missed that ;)
A truly masterful build. What brand of Air Brush and Compressor do you use?
Thank you. I use H&S Ultra & Procon 289. Compressor, I do not rememebr the brand. I will try to check it.
Wchich colour you use for propeller?
Propeller hub I painted with vallejo metal, chrome. Prop. blades, I do not remember :(.
