Highly detailed 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero、 a lightweight、 carrier-based fighter aircraft employed by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service from 1940 to 1945. When the Zero was first introduced、 it was the best carrier based fighter in the world and was universally feared and respected by Allied pilots. The Zero was fast and incredibly maneuverable、 and in the hands of a capable pilot、 it could out dogfight any fighter of the era. The Mitsubishi Zero's prowess as a dogfighter was best demonstrated by the legendary Japanese fighter ace Saburo Sakai on June 24、 1944 when his Zero managed to elude a squadron of 15 U.S. Navy F6F Hellcats and returned to base almost untouched. Thanks to the evolution of new tactics and techniques、 Allied pilots were able to hold their own against the nimble Zero. With the introduction of more advanced F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair later in the war、 Allies finally have fighter aircrafts that could outclass the Zero in a turning dogfight. This 1/48 scale model kit depicts the A6M5 Type 0 Model 52 variant、 which had modified non-folding wingtips and improved dive performance and roll-rate. This kit features parts to build the Model 52 with additional wing-mounted machine guns with belt-feed system or the Model 52 kou with greater ammunition load. Parts for the Model 52 kou's lengthened spinner、 main wing panels、 gun covers、 and external fuel tank are also included to enable accurate reproduction. The main wing flaps can be set in an up or down position. Parts to construct the removable 300 liter belly tank are included. The one-piece engine cowl is made from precision-crafted plastic、 and cowl flaps can be posed in opened or closed positions. Includes 2 types of markings for the Model 52 and 1 type of marking for the Model 52 kou. 4 pilot figures in various lifelike poses also included.
