Hat tip to Sergio Teixeira for kindly alerting me to these four new Fine Molds A6M5 kits, two in 1/48 scale due for release in July and August respectively and two in 1/72 scale due for release in October. Fine Molds are also re-releasing some older kits including 1/48 Ohka and Hayabusa as well as 1/48 and 1/72 A7M2.
Other details of the 1/48 Nakajima A6M5a Model 52 Koh kit (box art in heading image above) can be seen here. And for the Mitsubishi built A6M5 Model 52 Koh (box art above) here.
The 1/72 kits are an interesting early production Mitsubishi A6M5 with the Model 32 type cowling without thrust exhausts, with three markings options, further details of which can be found here and a Mitsubishi-built mid production A6M5 with four markings options which is shown here. The 1/72 kits do not appear to have the same innovative parts break down as the recent 1/48 kits but are similar to the special magazine issue A6M5 kit released some years ago.
