Tamiya 1/48 Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero Fighter “Hamp” – Made in Japan (Kojika Mark, Early Edition) This is a vintage Tamiya 1/48 scale model kit of the Mitsubishi A6M3 Zero Fighter “Hamp,” produced during the early Kojika Tamiya era in Japan. The box features the classic early Tamiya design with the address “628 Oshika, Shizuoka-City, Japan,” indicating an authentic Japanese domestic edition from around 1982. The kit is unbuilt and includes the instruction sheet and decals. Only the pilot figure is missing, but all major parts are present. The decals show light yellowing due to age, which is normal for a kit of this vintage. Despite its age, the box and contents remain in good collectible condition. Details: • Scale: 1/48 • Brand: Tamiya (Made in Japan, Kojika period) • Model: Mitsubishi A6M3 “Hamp” • Condition: Unbuilt, missing pilot figure only • Decals: Included, light aging • Box: Original vintage Japanese domestic edition • Year: circa 1982 (over 40 years old) This is not extremely rare, but unbuilt vintage Kojika Tamiya kits are becoming increasingly hard to find, making it a desirable piece for collectors of Japanese WWII aircraft models.
