Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is one of the best books coming out of Japan on the ZERO: “MITSUBISHI A6M ZERO FIGHTER: A6M2, A6M2b, A6M2-N, and A6M2-K”, Volume 12 from the very well-regarded MODEL ART AVIATION PROFILE series.

We rate this series from Japan to be one of the very best available – it boasts superb black and white photographs, well-executed line drawings, nine pages of detailed color drawings, and 17 pages of crisp color profiles.  This superbly illustrated volume includes a chapter on colors and markings with some great details on stencils used on the ZERO.  And, as a bonus, there are three pages of English text including captions for the black and white photographs!  The focus is not just on the historical aspects of the earlier models of the famed ZERO – the last 15 pages feature some professionally built 1/32, 1/48 and 1/72 scale Hasegawa and Tamiya kit builds that are clearly and usefully presented.  See the accompanying scans to get a ‘visual’ on just how nice this book is -- if there was one book to help you with your next ZERO build, this is the one!  Text is in Japanese and as stated previously, the book includes three pages of English text including a summary of photo captions.

This 160-page, 7.25.x.10-inch softcover was published in 2012 and is absolutely BRAND NEW!
