Product description
This exquisite little Fine Moulds kit is a marvel of detail and was distributed with two copies of ModelGraphics. we suuply both the magazines as the complete kit as one packet. The magazines are needed as they contain the building and painting instructions. As far as i know it is the best and most detailed Zero kit in 1/72 available if you can find it!!

The trial product of this model kit from Finemolds was on show at the Shizuoka Hobby Show in May 2007. It was 1/72 scale model, but surpassed 1/48 scale model in the detail, and approached the Tamiya 1/32 scale product which is known as the top quality zero fighter model kit. Japanese model fans were surprised at this super detailed model and looked forward to the official release announcement.

But the outlook for the marketable was still vague in those days. Finemolds said... If this model is produced on a commercial basis, the prices may exceed 5,000 yen for a high quality. It was about 5 times prices of Hasegawa 1/72 Zero fighter kit. If this kit is released for this price, they could foresee that it was never sell.

Therefore they resorted to clever schemes. It was a collaborative project with the Japanese hobby magazine "Monthly Model Graphix". This scheme can materialize sharp reduction in prices, and can achieve in only two months the amount of the shipment in which it takes ten years or more normally. The price of those issues were 1,580 yen that were about 2 times of usual issue (780 yen). The catch copy was "Supreme Zero".
