Hello, George! Thanks for your PM and sorry I was forgetting my excel file of the A6Ms specs for all types.
I made up the list in English to post somewhere in this forum several months ago.
Unzip the file attached.
I mentioned I sculpted the A6M5 for RAIDEN in 1/285
I shot a batch of planes in primer today, at least one of each major type present, photo opportunity!
Thanks allot for this link. I am also very interested in Zero production figures.
Does anybody know the origin of this statistics where it was published?

These sources do not content Zero production figures.
JACAR - Japan Center for Asian Historical Records - is great bank of documents so it could contain variety of documents.
As far as I understand, Zero production figures are not from US Strategic Bombing Survey
Hye, Shinpachi.
I know these figures. They are from US Strategic Bombing Survey. And there is statistics of annual production by Calendar Financional years.
So I tried to calculate quarter production figures deriving from them. It was quite interesting task by the way
But that figures that are on Wiki Zero page are definitely different from them
