Japanese Navy Type 0 Carrier Fighter Model 21 (A6M2) (Plastic Model) Release Date: August 24, 2011 Price: ¥1,650 Manufacturer: Tamiya Model Number: 61016 Category: Toys & Hobbies Hobby Plastic Model ■ The Type 0 Carrier Fighter became a legendary aircraft thanks to its thoroughly lightweight airframe, a 940-horsepower Sakae 12 engine, and the combination of 7.7mm machine guns and 20mm machine guns. This is a plastic model assembly kit of the Type 0 Model 21, the initial model that supported the advance of the Japanese military in the early stages of the Pacific War. The graceful style, boasting excellent maneuverability and long-range performance, is fully modeled. The rivets and panel lines on the aircraft's surface are also delicately finished. The interior of the cockpit, including the instrument panel and seat, is reproduced with a three-dimensional feel. The canopy can be built in either an open or closed position, and the main landing gear and tail wheel can be assembled in either the landed or stowed position. Two figures of crew members, one seated and one standing, and five types of markings, including the aircraft flown by ace Saburo Sakai, are also included.
