TYPE 52 KOH “FIGHTER BOMBER”<br />
Outfox the Allies.<br />
As American warbirds grew in fi repower and speed, the Imperial Japanese Navy sought<br />
similar aircraft. One result of this search was the upgraded A6M5a Zero Type 52, which<br />

the A6M5a version to be the best Zero of all. This limited edition kit features new 250 kg<br />
