Kit has engraved panel lines, detailed cockpit, seated pilot, twin-row Nakajima Sakae engine, separately molded rudder, single piece propeller with separate spinner, detailed wheel wells and optional (undercarriage, folded wingtips), drop tank, single piece canopy. Decals and color painting guide for 3rd Air Group, 202st Kokuta, Imperial Japanese Navy, Rabul, September 1942 - includes propeller blade tip markings, instrument panel, stripes and stencil data.
When the Japanese Zero first entered service in 1940, it was without doubt the most advanced naval fighter in the world and quickly earned a reputation as a ruthless dogfighter. In early engagements, the Zero proved so effective that pilots were able to post an almost unbelievable victory ratio of 12 to 1 against their adversaries. As the Wehrmacht began its march across Europe in 1940, little attention was being given to developments in the Far East. Following years of re-arming and upgrading, the Japanese Navy could boast some of the most advanced naval aircraft in the world within its inventory, including the superb Mitsubishi A6M Zero.

This long range Naval fighter would be at the forefront of Japan's expansionist ambitions throughout WWII and in the early war years, proved to be unequalled in the Pacific region. The Zero also quickly earned a reputation as a dogfighter and Allied pilots quickly learned to avoid a slow, turning fight with this beautifully balanced aircraft. American pilots soon developed tactics that avoided playing into the hands of the Zero and began to score victories. As newer fighters began to enter service, the A6M Zero began to show its weaknesses, which were a lack of armor protection for the pilot and no self-sealing fuel tanks in the wing. Using their boom and zoom hit and run tactics, the Americans finally began to get the measure of the feared Zero.
With this classic model resemble an aircraft possessing exceptional freedom of movement and with an equally impressive livery for you to recreate, no collection is complete without the A6M Zero. This model measures at 126mm, making it perfect as a model for both experienced and younger collectors.
