About product

1:24 Mitsubishi A6M2b Model 21 Zero - a kit from Trumpeter

An injection-molded plastic kit of the best-known Japanese fighter of the Second World War in 1:24 scale. The large scale moves the model out of the category of small display-cabinet items and in among the showpieces: the shapes of the cowling, the engine and the framing of the canopy all stand out on it. The manufacturer is Trumpeter.

The real subject

The Mitsubishi A6M was a carrier fighter of the Imperial Japanese Navy, known in the West as the Zero. The A6M2b Model 21 form was powered by a Nakajima Sakae radial engine and was adapted for operation from aircraft carriers, among other things by folding wingtips so that the machine would fit into a hangar. The armament combined a pair of wing cannon with machine guns above the engine. The Model 21 stood at the beginning of the Japanese campaign in the Pacific, including the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Zero owed its exceptional range and agility to a very light structure, which it paid for with the lack of armor protection and with fuel tanks without a self-sealing layer.

Building and painting tips

In a large scale everything that is neglected inside can be seen: finish and touch the cockpit and the engine up before you close the fuselage. The light Japanese naval finish stands out only on a perfectly prepared surface, so sand the surface down and degrease it. Do the wear of flaking paint sparingly and in layers; on a large area it is easily overdone. Use a gloss varnish under the decals, and a flat final overspray will then even the surface out.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of the aircraft of the war in the Pacific
  • Modelers who want to work the interior and the engine out in detail
  • Anyone who wants one large model instead of several smaller ones
  • Everyone interested in the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The Model 21 was an early carrier version with folding wingtips and an early-series Sakae engine. The later versions were given a shortened wing, a more powerful engine and, gradually, better protection for the pilot.

It is nowhere near as widespread as 1:48 or 1:32. It does, however, offer a markedly larger model and more room for detail, so it is chosen mainly for showpieces.

Cement for polystyrene, sanding supplies, putty, paints and varnishes. Given the size of the model an airbrush proves its worth.
