{"product_id":"4950344603176","title":"1\/32 Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Fighter Model 21","description":"■Product Description\u003cbr\u003e\r\n [The Splendor of the Early Stages of the Pacific War]\u003cbr\u003eThe Zero fighter continued to fight as the main fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy from its first battle on the Chinese front until the end of the Pacific War. Among them, following the Type 11, which was operated in small numbers as a local fighter, the Type 21 was the first full-scale mass-produced model and was deployed mainly to aircraft carrier task forces. To make it easier to handle on aircraft carrier elevators, the wingspan was modified to fold by 50 cm on each side, and it was equipped with essential features for carrier-based aircraft such as a landing hook and a Kursi radio homing device. Piloted by skilled crews, the Type 21 overwhelmed Allied fighters in the early stages of the Pacific War, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor, the invasion of the Philippines, and the Indian Ocean campaign, by utilizing its range of over 3000 km, astonishing dogfighting ability, and heavy armament of 20 mm machine guns, which defied the conventional wisdom of single-seat fighters. Its spectacular performance built the legend of the Zero fighter's invincibility.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Engine and cockpit interior are also Type 21] [Faithfully Reproducing the Features]\u003cbr\u003eThe Type 21 Zero is said to possess the beautiful proportions inherent to the Zero fighter, such as its graceful 12m wingspan and smart engine cowling. The kit faithfully reproduces its features down to the smallest detail, as well as its overall appearance. The Nakajima \"Sakae\" Type 12 engine, which was the driving force behind its high performance, faithfully reproduces the differences from the Type 52, such as the small reduction chamber, rear auxiliary equipment, and manifold exhaust pipe. The engine support frame, oil tank, and internal fuel tank in the fuselage are also highlights. The cockpit interior is reproduced with the same three-dimensional detail as the Type 52, and the equipment unique to the Type 21, such as the Type 96 Air No. 1 radio, is modeled without omission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[Can be Stored in the Package After Completion]\u003cbr\u003eBy removing the wingtips, propeller, and drop tank from the completed model, the inner lid can be used as a base to store it in the package. (The storage box is a temporary one using the package.)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n ■Product Specifications\u003cbr\u003eManufacturer: Tamiya\u003cbr\u003eItem No: 60317\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1\/32\u003cbr\u003eJAN: 4950344603176\u003cbr\u003eRemarks\u003cbr\u003e [Model Specifications]\u003cbr\u003eThis is a plastic model assembly kit of the Zero Fighter Type 21, which played an active role in the early stages of the Pacific War. ★1\/32 scale, overall length 283mm, overall wingspan 375mm. ★The unique cowling shape and the flowing lines of each part of the aircraft are modeled with high realism. ★In addition to the landing gear, the control surfaces such as the rudder and flaps are movable. ★The pitot tube is made of high-quality metal.
