AGORAMODELS A6M ZERO
Not suitable for children under the age of 14. This product is not a toy and is not designed for use in play. Keep
the parts out of the reach of small children. Some parts may have sharp edges. Please handle them with care.
Advice from the experts
Spare screws are included with each part. Occasionally, you may
be instructed to keep spare or unused screws for a later stage.
Keep these spares in a safe place and label them correctly.
Please make sure you don’t mix up the screws. They look quite
similar, but the threads do vary slightly. Using the wrong screws
may damage the parts.
When securing parts together using multiple screws, fit each
screw loosely to ensure all the parts are correctly aligned before
gently tightening them firmly, but not overtight, in the order in
which you placed them.
The screwdriver can be magnetised by stroking it with a magnet
(fridge magnet, etc.) enabling it to hold the screws and make
assembly easier.
If a screw is tight going into a metal part, do not force it as you
may shear the head off. Remove it and put a tiny smear of Vaseline,
soap or light oil on the thread. That will lubricate it and make it
easier to drive home.
During the course of this build, you will receive many pieces that
you will assemble immediately – following the instructions in the
corresponding stage – and other pieces that you should store
safely to one side, for use in future assembly stages.
When gluing parts together, glue may be applied to either of the
two parts. Some experts find it asier to apply glue to a hole rather
than a pin. Choose a method that works best for you.
It's a good idea to test fit your parts so that you can check their
positioning before gluing.
There are excellent videos showing
how to build the Zero here.

Stage 81: Assembling the Drop
Tank and Display Pedestal
As the A6M Zero was well-known for its capacity to range quite
a way from its home carrier it required an extra fuel tank,
which we’ll be assembling in this stage, as well as continuing
work on the display pedestal. Make sure you fit the drop tank
parts together, leaving no gaps or space between them.
