We have had a lot of requests for the Zero so here it is folks. We have supplied a 40 inch wing for the A6M2 version of the Zero. A number of variations of this plane were made and the wing span was changed several times. If you want, you could clip the wing to the A6M5 version which would give you a span of 36 inches. The longer wing gives this plane a similar feel to our Corsair. As all of our foamies, this one is very durable and is one of the easier to build. There are no special tricks to sanding and assembling the fuse and wing. There is ample room for the radio gear and the nose is big enough to handle .25 or larger engines. This example uses the fuselage doublers to form a simple fake cowl but a the top portion of a 2 liter Coke bottle is the perfect size for a scale looking round cowl. The plane is taped with our dark green on top and red on the bottom then sanded and sprayed with Krylon green and red. The canopy is covered in tape then sprayed with silver Krylon. Hope you like it!

BTW, the new Norvel .25 plain bearing or ball bearing engine has reportedly been very successful in combat circles. We try to keep both these engines in stock along with tanks mounts and radio systems. We recently put in stock a specially setup Hitec radio system that includes micro 555 receiver and HS 81 servos and a 350 mah battery pack that is just perfect for combat planes due to the light weight. Check them out from the Gas engine tab and the Electronics tab for the radio system
This is the first prototype and we are making some small changes.
Now check out the final draft!
This example is taped up in white tape with several shades of Krylon spray paint cammo. The under belly and wing are left white and the red circles are computer generated on label paper. They will get clear tape over them prior to flying. The cowl is made from a 2 liter pop bottle painted black on the inside.

your choice of spinner, 1-3/4" for the Mustang and 1-1/2 for most other kits - specify color in the comments box for online orders or we will send black. (most planes used a spinner with the exception of the Corsair but most guys use a spinner on the Corsair also to make it easier to start)
