This is a 1/48 scale plastic assembly kit of the Zero Fighter, the Imperial Japanese Navy's main carrier-based fighter that was active during the Pacific War.
It recreates the early-model A6M2, Model 21.
The parts are made by Eduard, renowned for their sharp finish.
Its neat proportions are reproduced with great atmosphere.
The shapes of the fuselage, wings, and even the panel lines are delicately rendered.
The model's Sakae engine is also meticulously modeled.
The mechanical reproduction of the cylinders and rods is an attractive feature.
The cowling's fine divisions accurately reproduce its distinctive shape.
The cockpit, floor, and side walls are also modeled in great detail, and the seat and instrument panel are reproduced with a sense of density.
The canopy can be assembled either open or closed.
Of course, the Japanese instructions, produced by Platz, ensure ease of assembly.
Two types of markings are included.
The Zero Fighter Model 21 is a must-have for airplane modelers, and a must-have addition to your collection.
