Featuring a lightweight design, a 940hp Sakae 12 engine, and armed with two 7.7mm machine guns and two 20mm cannons, the A6M2 (Model 21) Zero was nearly invincible as Japan’s military advanced across the Pacific in the early years of WWII. This kit accurately reproduces the form of this legendary aircraft and features fine surface details as well as a thorough cockpit. The canopy may be assembled in open or closed positions, while the landing gear may also be depicted in deployed or retracted positions. The kit comes with two pilot figures and five marking options, including one for the aircraft flown by Japanese ace Saburo Sakai.
