Artikelbezeichnung: 1:72 WWII Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Fighter
This is the definitive 1/72 plastic model of the Japanese Navys
representative fighter aircraft, the Mitsubishi A6M5 Zero Fighter.
History of the Zero fighter: The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was the Japanese
Navys main fighter throughout the Pacific Theater during WWII. In the
latter half of the war, the model 52 Zero, a refined version of the model 22, aimed to take on the ever increasing numbers of
high-performance U.S. aircraft. It featured a shorter 11 m wingspan with
rounded wingtips, was powered by the same 1130 hp Nakajima Sakae engine
as seen in the model 22 Zero, and had the new exhaust propulsion system
which gave it a 565 km/h top speed. The A6M5 came armed with two 7.7 mm
machine guns and 20 mm belt-fed cannons. Deployment of the A6M5 began in
the autumn of 1943, and they saw action in the Solomons campaign as well
as over the Marianas. It defended Japan against overwhelming numbers of
superior U.S. aircraft up until the very last day of the war.
