The folks at Yellowhammer Models continue to turn out great aftermarket
subjects with some of the best instructions/color profiles on
the market. This set provides some interesting subjects ranging
from Pearl Harbor to actions in late 1942. This set is just in
time for the Tamiya 1/32 A6M2 Type 21 Zero (Zeke) kit (reviewed
here).
The aircraft covered here are:
- A6M2, V-128, Tainan Air Group, Rabaul, Aug 1942
- A6M2, BII-124, Hiryu Ftr Sqn, Darwin, Australia, Feb 1942
- A6M2, X-183, 3rd Air Group, Bali, Dutch East Indies, Feb 1942
- A6M2, BII-120, Hiryu Ftr Sqn, Pearl Harbor, 7 Dec 1941
- A6M2, V-141, Tainan Air Group, Bali, Dutch East Indies, Feb
1942
- A6M2, EI-111, Shokaku Ftr Sqn, Battle of Santa Cruz, Oct 1942
This set provides a nice range of marking options for the Tamiya
kit. National markings are not included in this set. In addition
to the nice color profiles included in this set, there are also
three pages of background text to describe the aircraft and some
of the interpretation issues that led to these markings.
Yellowhammer Models are available directly from Meteor Productions
(the manufacturer) on their website.
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions
for this review sample!
