HISTORY ASPECTS:
The A6M2 Zero, piloted by 1st Class Tetsuzo Iwamoto, was a formidable Japanese fighter aircraft that became a symbol of Japanese airpower during World War II. On December 7, 1941, it played a pivotal role in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, launching from the aircraft carrier Zuikaku. This attack, which inflicted significant damage on the U.S. Pacific Fleet, marked a turning point in the war and brought the United States into the conflict.
The A6M2 Zero, with its technical specifications that included a Nakajima Sakae 12 engine and a top speed of over 300 mph, was renowned for its maneuverability and agility. It played a key role in early Pacific Theater battles, including the Battle of Midway and the Guadalcanal Campaign. The Zero was known for its lightweight construction and long combat range, which allowed it to dominate the skies in the early years of the war.
This 1:48 scale model faithfully replicates the Zero's design, complete with accurate markings and insignia. Whether you have a passion for military aviation history, the events of World War II, or simply appreciate finely crafted diecast models, this A6M2 Zero is a piece of history that you can proudly display and commemorate the bravery and skill of the Japanese pilots who flew it.
