Mitsubishi A6M2 "Zero-Sen" Fighter

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. • 347 high-quality blocks • Produced in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition • The blocks meet the safety standards of products for children • Fully compatible with other brands of construction blocks • Blocks with prints do not scratch or smear and do not fade during play or under the influence of temperature • Clear and intuitive instructions based on illustrations and step-by-step directions • 100% prints, no stickers • Special display stand • 1 pilot figure with double-sided print!
