Old Tamiya Zero: Worth Building?

Ther is nothing wrong with the kit, except for maybe a bit lacking in the finer details. Like stik said, unless your a model kit snob, you'll like it just fine.

Got one (A6M2) in the stash and was wondering the same thing. I figured its not worth super-detailing..but more of a practice run for trying out different colors and schemes for me, as Japanese early zero's have conflicting colors! Its definately NOT worth puttying, sanding, all that but I think it fits together with minimal fuss... I think Fermis built a WIP here not too long ago...

The old A6M2 is a nice fun easy build. Yes it needs more in the engine and cockpit, but externally it looks pretty dang sharp. I call it a worthwhile build. The A6M5 is better in both areas. I have not built mine yet, but looks good in the box. Unless youre some kind of snob who cant be bothered with any kit that is not newest/top of the line, you should enjoy both.

Unless a kit is just garbage,it's always worth building.
