Lifelike Decals 1/48 A6M Zero Fighters Part 5 (48-065)

This review will tell you more about Lifelike Decals 1/48 A6M Zero Fighters Part 5 (48-065). It is not hard to guess from the name that new release continues series of aircraft add-ons from the famous Japanese brand. I reviewed the previous releases, so it will be interesting to see what is here. Well, the main part is written on the cover - 16 markings in total, which can be used for three types of the famous Zero in popular scale. List of the "compatible" kits is also there and includes Tamiya, Eduard, Hasegawa, Platz, Academy and FineMolds. Packaging is typical here, so let's open it and take a closer look together.

Cover is printed on the marking guide brochure. Here you can see all options which are included in the set. The choice is quite wide, and I am sure you will find something worth replicating.

Lifelike Decals also supplies special reference guide which might be handy for those who would like learn about copied aircraft. There is also a literature list included in there.

Paint reference tab is still here, and can be a handy guide for mixing your own paint.

Various Hinomaru types are printed on the separate decals sheet. Be sure to pick up the right one for the option you will choose.

Second decals sheet already features main symbols for markings. There is no segmentation, and it will require certain precision while cutting the necessary decal. The same can be said about third decals sheet. Overall printing quality looks great, and all three are printed in Microscale Industries.

New set should be already available for purchase. It is important to mention that it comes in limited number, so it is better to hurry up if you want to get one. Overall quality is on par with the previous releases from this brand, so you just need to decide which marking you would like to see on your build. I like the overall idea of this product and design of the marking guide, so let's see what will be included in the Part 6.
