Nice simple kit, but just enough parts to keep you busy at the same time.
Easy to assemble, parts clearly numbered But no extras ie: bombs/rockets
Just paint it now, it came together nicely and even though some parts were too small, it still is looking good
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 unequaled in the Pacific region.
Possessing exceptional maneuverability, the Zero quickly earned a reputation as
a dogfighter and Allied pilots quickly learned to avoid a slow, turning fight
with this beautifully balanced aircraft. As the fighter aircraft to beat in the
Pacific, 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.
