Revive the crystallization of Japanese aircraft technology with the ultimate model
[About the Zero Fighter Type 52] The Zero Fighter continued to fly as the main fighter of the Japanese Navy throughout the entire period of the Pacific War.
Among them, in the latter half of the war, the Type 52 was introduced following the Type 22 to compete against high-speed, heavily armed American fighter aircraft.
The engine was the ``Sakae'' 21 type with 1130 horsepower, the same as the 22 type, but the exhaust pipe was changed from the conventional collective type to a thrust type single exhaust pipe, the wingspan was shortened to 11 m, and the end was semicircular. Improvements have been made to various parts such as shaping, and the maximum speed has been increased to 565km/h.
It was equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns in the nose and two long-barreled 20mm machine guns on both wings as fixed armament.
Unit deployment of the Type 52 began in the fall of 1945, and it sortied into most of the battles in the latter half of the war, including the Battle of the Solomon Islands, the Battle of the Marianas, and the air defense battle for the mainland of Japan, defeating the overwhelmingly superior American forces in both quality and quantity. They continued to fight their opponents until the end of the war.
[Complete movable parts unique to big scale] One of the charms of this kit is the seven movable parts.
Although it tends to be overscaled, we focused on precision and reproduced it without damaging the outline or mold.
Even after completion, you can enjoy realistic movements and gain a better understanding of how the actual machine works.
