Product Description
Among the aircraft developed in Japan, the Zero fighter is a representative model, and the early production model, the Type 21, in particular, played a key role in the success of the Pearl Harbor attack at the very beginning of the war, serving as an air superiority fighter.
This kit models the aircraft of Lieutenant Commander Shigeru Itaya (Commander of the First Attack Wave/Air Superiority Unit in the Pearl Harbor Attack), which belonged to the aircraft carrier Akagi's fighter squadron and participated in the first wave of the attack on Pearl Harbor, as well as the aircraft of Petty Officer First Class Shinji Iwama, who served as his wingman.
While we currently sell the Zero Fighter Type 52 series, in developing this Zero Fighter Type 21, we redesigned and created new molds for almost the entire model, including the main wings, forward fuselage, cowling, first canopy, and vertical stabilizer (rudder).
The kit features selectable wingtip positions (folded or unfolded), separate canopy frame and glass, and a one-piece rear fuselage section created using slide molding for ease of assembly.
Furthermore, while there are differences in the ailerons of the actual aircraft depending on the manufacturing lot, this kit reproduces the early Mitsubishi model (up to aircraft number 326) equipped with a protruding mass balance.
