A6M2 Zero Short Kit - WGMSK700

WGM700Combo - A6M2 Zero Combo (Short Kit, Wood Pack, Insignia Sheet)

A6M2 Zero - Wing Span 55 inches

The Zero was undoubtedly the superior dog fighter in 1941, at the star of WWII. The Zero faced US planes with better armament, self-sealing fuel tanks, armor shielding around the cockpit as well as squadron team work.

THE KIT

The box frame fuselage construction with a stress skin foam core is becoming revolutionary. Modelers are surprised at how fast these short kits build.

TEST PILOT NOTES:

"This model is a good windy weather flyer. It's fast and maneuverable. It's agile and can perform loops and split "S's". This model will challenge those pilots who are ready for a more advanced aircraft."
