The Mitsubishi A6M2 is one of the best fighters of the early period of World War II. The Navy Pattern 0 Deck Fighter had no official name. The number 0 marks the end of the year 2600 (according to the Japanese calendar), in which the aircraft was designed. This is where the popular term Zero, invented by the British, got its start. The aircraft was designed by engineer Jir Horikoshi in 1940 for the Imperial Japanese Navy. The model was continuously modified during the war.
The machine was characterised by its high speed and manoeuvrability. These features were achieved, among other things, at the expense of armour. A total of around 11,000 copies of this aircraft in various versions were produced.
Assembling World War II fighter blocks is a great way to spend time and pursue your passion for history and modelling. The Mitsubishi A6M2 building block set contains 347 pieces and one pilot figure. The fighter plane model from COBI has been created with attention to the smallest details. The plane has a movable propeller and ailerons. Its rotating wheels with rubber tyres can be extended from the undercarriage in the take-off or landing position. The cabin can be opened to seat a pilot figure at the controls, which has an accurately reproduced uniform and a print on the back too! The aircraft has been covered with high-quality prints that will not rub off even during intensive use. The set also comes with a special stand to make the model's display more attractive and a plaque with the aircraft's name. The block model of the Japanese fighter is sure to please young aircraft fans as well as older aviation history enthusiasts and collectors.
