Long shot question about Matchbox A6M5's

Hi

Does anyone know which version of the A6M5 do these 3 represent? Either a/b/c/d?

Matchbox #91732
Matchbox #B1098
Matchbox #C4498

Thanks a lot

Patrick

Re: Long shot question about Matchbox A6M5's

This is the Matchbox Zero that I have and it would be an A6M5c Model 52-Hei. I have also seen it referred to as A6M5c Model 52c.

 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

I found a photo of one Mathbox Zero that was Green overall and it looks to be the exact same model type. Wonder if they only did one cast and they are all the same model type.

You know I bet they are, but I figure someone will eventually see this thread and confirm.

Thanks Cruver

All the zeros are the same IIRC, Matchbox didn't change their mold, just the paint schemes..

Matchbox #B1098

These two are the same plane, just different packaging
