Just to make it clear for every one; I am not a dealer nor do I have any interest in any shops, this list is compiled to assist in knowing what is at some time or other produced, and if I have seen the kit, or read a review of it, I will post that as well.

Kawanishi N1K1-JA Revell RJ0170/H-170 Shinden Kai Mid Wing George
Kawanishi N1K2-J Doyusha 32-GEO-3500 / DYS32-GEO Shinden Kai George. This kit is nice, the surfaces is with engraved panel lines and looks good. The fit seems pretty good too. On the down side is that this kit has been made for installation of an electrical motor and batteries. This causes the cockpit engine to be rather very simple. The nessecary detailing is easily done though. Mine went together nicely and I only needed a little filler at the wingroots and lower wing/fuselage lines, probably because the wing originally was made to remove in order to change batteries.

Kawasaki Ki 61 Revell RJ0276/H-276/0276 Tony/Hien hard to get, but worthwhile, as it's the only one if you want a japanese plane with an inline engine. I finally got hold of one thanks to a Vestjysk Hobby who often helps me find rare things. I really enjoyed building this one, the weakest part is the clear parts, they are a bit thick. Se the finished result here.
Kawasaki Ki 61-I MDC   Hei-Hien / Tony announced for november 2006. Resin kit with nice detailing,looks to be superior to the old Revell kit.
Kyushu J7W1 ID Models 3265 VAC Form Shinden. My sample was poor, and definately not for beginners, but only the determined builder.

Mitsubishi A5M4 CraftWorks 32104 Resin, whitemetal and photoechings Claude.
Mitsubishi A6M2 Airtec 3219 Rufe (Zero floatplane fighter)
Mitsubishi A6M2 Doyusha (DYS)32-ZEK / 32ZEK-3500 Zero type 21. This kit is nice, the surfaces is with engraved panel lines and looks good. The fit seems pretty good too. On the down side is that this kit has been made for installation of an electrical motor and batteries. This causes the cockpit and engine to be rather simple. The nessecary detailing is easily done though.
Mitsubishi A6M2b Tamiya 60317 Zero type 21 very nice and detailed model but with a high price.
Mitsubishi A6M2 Swallow 3201 Zero type 21. Identical to Doyusha and Tomy.
Mitsubishi A6M2 21st Century Toys - Zero type 21. Issued by a company that also supplies painted assembled models. Fairly nice kit, but with rough details as older kits and is prepared for assembly with screws, but at a low price a good buy. Parts are seperate and comes in small plasticbags.
Mitsubishi A6M3 Tomy HP-4 Zero/Zeke (Hamp) with metalparts, Plasticparts are the same as Doyusha and Swallow, but includes an electronic engine for the propellor. Should not be a A6M3 but a A6M2.
Mitsubishi A6M5 Frog F287 Zero type 52.
Mitsubishi A6M5 Tamiya 60309 Zero type 52 very nice and detailed model but with a high price.
Mitsubishi A6M5 Hasegawa 8054 / ST04 / 8146 Zero type 52. Same kit as the one below, but without the frame with the Samurai warrior pilot.
Mitsubishi A6M5 Hasegawa JS-070 Zero type 52 including Samurai figure. My kit is a nice one that fits good, there's a lot of interior details in the cockpit (the price is some sinkage on the outside). The engine is very nice, but the "Nose Cowl" has less details than Revell's. Hasegawa also offers Zero's boxed with the following numbers: CH16, SP34 & ST4 the last two as Suburu Sakai
Mitsubishi A6M5 Arii 53024 Zero type 52
Mitsubishi A6M5c Jasegawa CH16X Zero type 52
Mitsubishi A6M5 Hasegawa   Zero type 52. Same basic kit as the ones above, but with white metal and photo etchings, what if anything has been removed I don't know, but my general opinion of this type of set comes from Hasegawa's FW 190 D-9, which does not impress many people, except for the price. (Se my german section for further comments).
Mitsubishi A6M5 LS 201/A604 Zero type 52.
Mitsubishi A6M5 Revell H-265/H-581/4451/4755 Zero type 52 My sample fits together nicely, but interior details are less than Hasegawa's offering, and the engine is not nearly as impressive, but surface details are slightly better with less sinkage. Mine has been converted to a n A6M2N Rufe floatplane version with long span wings, see the result in my gallery.
Mitsubishi A6M5 Minicraft Models 1070 Zero
Mitsubishi A6M5 Nichimo S-3501 Zero
Mitsubishi A6M5 BMW Models R.42 Zero type 54.
Mitsubishi J2M3 Revell H-288 Raiden/Jack (Thunderbolt). A very rare kit unfortunately, because it's among the best I've seen in this scale. As it's an older kit there are some minor difficulties, and my copy needs some filler in the wing root section. With all the interior detailing it's common with a little sinkage on the outside, and Revell haven avoided it either, but it's minimal. A very nice engine and cockpit interior. All three wheels are made to be retractable, and I must admit, I haven't seen anything better, of course the dimentions are somewhat out of scale to make it solid, but its very delicately done after all.
