Japanese A6M Zero flown by Saburo Sakai Model

Zeros were the best Japanese fighters of the War. They spearheaded every advance from Pearl Harbor to the Battle of Midway. At Midway they suffered irreplaceable losses in both pilots and planes.

Other variant productions of the Japanese A6M Zero were used in China since August 1940. The Japanese A6M has a more Spartan design than other conventional western aircraft. The Japanese A6M Zero has no armor plate and no self-sealing fuel tanks. The Japanese A6M helicopter had a fairly lift low speed wing with a very low wing loading, giving it a very stalling speed of below 60 knots. Thus, the said helicopter has a turning ability, allowing it to turn more sharply than any Allied fighter of the time.

The Allied pilots found out that the appropriate way to fight against Japanese A6M Zero was to remain out of the range and fight on the dive and climb. Heavy machine guns and a single burst of fire was usually enough to down a Japanese A6M. These techniques were formulated by the CBI. When the Grumman F6F Hellcat, Vought F4U Corsai,r and Lockhead P-38 were manufactured, the Japanese A6M Zero lost its competitiveness in the war. In spite of that, until end of the war, the Japanese A6M Zero is still considered as a deadly weapon. It remained in production until 1945.

The Japanese A6M Zero model airplane is hand-carved from solid mahogany, hand-painted by our gifted artists, and packed with authentic detail based on the actual Japanese A6M Zero aircraft blueprints. Our Japanese A6M Zero wooden model aircraft is ideally suited for collectibles, executive gifts, premium and promotional incentives, art gallery "sculptures", and many other purposes. Each Japanese A6M Zero wood aircraft model is hand carved and completely hand painted to match the original aircraft’s exact variant, paint scheme and registration number. Even the Japanese A6M Zero’s hand-made bombs, rockets, drop tanks, and missile were correctly reproduced to show the real weapon loads to give it an impressive value. Multiple coats of clear lacquer were also applied on the Japanese A6M Zero model airplane to generate an overall glossy effect.
