Product Description

Build the Type 32, whose unique wing shape is its greatest appeal, using Eduard's masterpiece parts.

[About the actual device]
The Zero fighter was the main fighter aircraft operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy during the Pacific War.
Its exceptional maneuverability and range, combined with the high skill of its pilots, overwhelmed and surprised the American forces in the early stages of the war.
Deployment and operation began in 1940.
Improvements were continuously made throughout the war, and it remained in service until the end of the war.
Among the many types developed, the A6M3 model was the one in which the folding section at the wingtip was removed and the wingtip was shaped into a square form.
It was officially adopted in January 1943 as the Type 32 Zero fighter.
It was equipped with a Sakae 21 engine.
It was equipped with two 20mm cannons in the wings and two 7.7mm cannons in the nose.
It was also used by the 204th Naval Air Group, which advanced to Rabaul, and continued to fight valiantly.

[About the model]
This model is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Zero fighter, the main carrier-based fighter aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy that played an active role in the Pacific War.
This model is based on the A6M3 Type 32, which features angularly shaped wingtips.
The parts are made by Eduard, a company renowned for its sharp finishes.
- The appeal lies in Eduard's unique style, from the shape of the fuselage and wings to the panel lines and the texture of the wing surface.
The Sakae engine is also meticulously modeled in the nose, and the mechanical reproduction of the cylinders and rods is not to be missed.
- The shape of the engine cowl is also accurately reproduced.
The cockpit features detailed models of the floor, side walls, seats, and instrument panel.
The markings include three types: T-2 aircraft No. 190 of the 204th Naval Air Group, which played a central role in the land-based Zero fighter squadrons in the Solomon Islands theater, as well as aircraft No. 188 and No. 197.
All of these aircraft have a dark green makeshift camouflage pattern applied to their upper surfaces, so it will be fun to try out your painting skills on them.
