Original (not an A6M5 but anyway)

The A6M5 is a further development of the A6M series, it had a more shorter wingspan and revised horizontal stabilizer to increase speed and agility, the A6M5 Model 52s were first produced by Mitsubishi, but most Model 52s were made by Nakajima. The prototype was made in June 1943 by modifying an A6M3 and was first flown in August 1943.

In this SP version, it's more or less just a small modification to to my A6M2, it had shorter wings and bigger horizontal stabilizer, it had a faster acceleration than the A6M2 and it had a slightly higher top speed, but overall it is similar to the A6M2, landing procedures are the same.

As well as the A6M2 that I've made, it had an arresting hook.
