Description

[2024 Completely New Mold] 

Product Number: FZ02
1/48 Scale Plastic Model (R)
Imperial Japanese Navy Zero Fighter Type 52 (Nakajima-Made)

The development and production of Japan's iconic aircraft, the 'Zero Fighter,' were initially carried out by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. However, Nakajima Aircraft Company also produced the Zero, eventually surpassing Mitsubishi in total production numbers. Although the Nakajima-made and Mitsubishi-made Zero Fighter Type 52 were the same aircraft, there were subtle differences between them.

Externally, differences can be seen in the paint lines between the dark green and the underside color, and the width of the white borders around the "Rising Sun" insignia on the wings. Moreover, there were also differences in the design of the aircraft itself. A notable characteristic of the Nakajima-made Zero Fighter Type 52 is the length of the heat-resistant plates on the fuselage, which were longer than those on the Mitsubishi-made version, particularly where the single exhaust pipes were installed.

This kit meticulously reproduces the differences between the Mitsubishi-made and Nakajima-made Zero Fighters. Additionally, as a feature, the canopy has been designed with separate parts for the window frame and the glass, making it easier to paint the clear parts (a traditional one-piece molded canopy is also included). Furthermore, similar to the structure of the actual aircraft, the fuselage is divided into front and rear sections, eliminating the need for the standard left-right fuselage division typically seen in aircraft plastic models. This approach removes the need for precise finishing work along the part assembly lines, aiming for a more user-friendly and detailed model.
