Japanese A6M5 Zero Fighter Free 3D print model

1/900th scale A6M5 Zero Fighter model. Certain elements not to scale.

The A6M5 Zero was a carrier-borne fighter that served throughout WWII. It was initially much better overall than the American fighters, but eventually was outmatched by the newer designs toward the end of the war. The Zero was used in Kamikaze attacks towards the end of the war.

This model is designed and tested at 1/900th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/900th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The model has been enlarged along the z axis to allow for better printing and accentuation of detail. The model has also been given thicker elements for strength. The wingspan and overall length are to scale.

Available are both individual and squadron files. You can find the stand at https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/miniatures/vehicles/stand-for-miniature-aircraft.

This is part of my collection of WWII aircaft, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.

Update 26 Oct 19: Added option with propellors. Rearranged squadron option. Adjustments for better printability.

Tested with PLA at .08mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
