Yellowhammer Models 1/32
A6M2 Zero Type 21

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.

Definitely recommended!

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for this review sample!
