Description: Item TitleTamiya 1/32 Aircraft Series No.17 Japanese Navy Mitsubishi A6M Zero Type 21 Carrier Fighter Plastic Model 60317 Description[Flower of the Early Battles of the Pacific War] The Zero Fighter continued to fight as the main fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy from its first battle on the Chinese front until the end of the Pacific War. Following the Model 11, which was used in small numbers as a local fighter, the Model 21 was the first full-scale mass-produced model to be deployed mainly in aircraft carrier task forces. The wings were improved so that they could be folded up by 50 cm at both ends to make it easier to handle in the aircraft carrier elevator, and it was equipped with a landing hook and a Crusey radio return direction finder, which are essential for carrier-based aircraft. Piloted by experienced pilots, the Model 21 overwhelmed Allied fighter planes in the early battles of the Pacific War, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of the Philippines, and the Indian Ocean operation, taking advantage of its range of over 3,000 km, which overturned the common sense of a single-seater fighter, its incredible dogfighting ability, and its heavy armament of 20 mm machine guns. Its brilliant performance built the myth of the Zero Fighter's invincibility. [The engine and cockpit interior are faithfully reproduced to reflect the characteristics of the Type 21] The Type 21 is said to have the beautiful proportions of the Zero Fighter, such as its 12m wide, long wings and smart engine cowling. The kit reproduces its appearance and features down to the smallest details. The Nakajima "Sakae" Type 12 engine, which was the driving force behind its high performance, faithfully reproduces the differences from the Type 52, such as its small reduction chamber, rear auxiliary equipment, and exhaust manifold. The engine support rack, oil tank, and fuel tank inside the fuselage are also highlights. The cockpit interior is not only reproduced with the same three-dimensional feel as the Type 52, but also includes the Type 21's unique equipment, such as the Type 96 Air No. 1 radio. [Can be stored in the package after completion] If you remove the wing tips, propeller, and drop tank from the completed model, you can use the inner lid as a stand and store it in the package. (The storage box is temporary, using the package.)
