Description

Piece together your own Mitsubishi A6M “Zero” with this 347-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s World War II Historical Collection, this set contains all of the blocks needed to construct Japan’s most famous fighter.

The Zero was produced by the Japanese from 1939–1945 and was used as the country’s primary fighter. It featured excellent maneuverability and range and was excellent in dogfights, making it the best aircraft carrier-based fighter in the world when it was released. However, as the war progressed, the Allied aircraft improved and became able to fight the Zeros on equal terms. The Zero featured two 20mm cannons, two 7.7mm machine guns, and two 130lb bombs and could fly at 350 mph.

This 1:32 scale model features rotating wheels, moving propellers and wing flaps, and a cockpit that opens. A pilot minifigure that can be placed in the cockpit also comes with the set. Perfect for aviation and military enthusiasts ages 7+, this set brings the Zero to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 10.6” long, 15” wide, and 4.5” high. ~Alex

Publisher's Description of COBI Mitsubishi A6M2 "Zero-Sen" Fighter - 347 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)

The Mitsubishi A6M2 was one of the best fighters in the initial period of World War II. The Navy Deck Fighter Model 0 had no official name. The number 0 represents the end of the year 2600 (on the Japanese calendar) in which the aircraft was designed. Hence the popular term "Zero" invented by the British. The aircraft was designed by engineer Jirō Horikoshi in 1940 on the order of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The model was constantly modified during the war.

The machine was characterized by high speed and maneuverability. These features, among others, were achieved at the expense of armor. A total of about 11,000 copies of this aircraft in various versions were produced.

Assembling block fighters from World War II is a great way to spend time and pursue a passion for history and modeling. The set of Mitsubishi A6M2 construction blocks contains 347 elements and one pilot figure. The fighter plane model from COBI was created with attention to the smallest details. The plane has a movable propeller and ailerons. Its rotating rubber tire wheels slide out of the undercarriage in the take-off or landing position. The cabin can be opened to put at the controls a figure of a pilot, who has an accurately reproduced uniform and a print on the back! The plane has been covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off even during intensive use. The set also includes a special stand, which makes the display of the model more attractive, and a plate with the name of the plane. The block model of the Japanese fighter will surely satisfy young aircraft fans as well as older aviation and history enthusiasts and collectors.
