Engineers shortened the wings, strengthened the airframe, and redesigned the exhaust system to improve speed, diving performance, and overall combat effectiveness. While maintaining the legendary agility of earlier Zero variants, the Type 52 was better suited for the intense aerial combat of the war's later years. It served extensively in battles across the Philippines, Formosa, Okinawa, and the Japanese Home Islands, becoming the most widely produced late-war Zero variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hasegawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51276529041714,"sku":"HSG09070","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/3310\/6226\/files\/hsg09070-148-hasegawa-a6m5-zero-fighter-type-52-squadron-model-models__66130.jpg?v=1781044783","url":"https:\/\/battlebornhobby.com\/products\/1-48-hasegawa-a6m5-zero-fighter-type-52","provider":"Battle Born Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
