Tamiya 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero Fighter Model 32 (Hamp) Plastic Model Kit

Build one of the most distinctive variants of Japan's legendary Zero fighter with the Tamiya 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero Fighter Model 32 (Hamp). This compact War Bird Collection kit faithfully reproduces the Model 32's unique squared-off wingtips, revised fuselage and Sakae 21 engine in detailed 1/72 scale.

Please note this is an unassembled plastic model kit requiring assembly; paints, cement and hobby tools are not included and are required to complete the model.

The A6M3 Model 32 was an evolution of the Model 21, introducing an improved Sakae 21 engine and shorter, redesigned main wings with distinctive squared-off tips. These changes increased top speed and improved roll and diving performance, although they also reduced range due to the smaller fuel capacity. American forces mistakenly gave the aircraft the nickname "Hamp" after its introduction.

Why You'll Love It

The A6M3 Model 32 has a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from the more familiar rounded-wing Zero variants.
