Mitsubishi A6M Zero

Mitsubishi A6M Zero 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 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! 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. This is a parts layout of the kit. Each kit includes a roll of colored tape, control horns, and piano wire for pushrods. As you can see, they are very simple and easy to assemble. All the foam is CNC hot wire cut. The fuselage doublers and tails are die-cut. You can sand the fuselage to a scale shape or leave it blocky if you want. With a little sculpting, you will end up with a very nice looking plane - but then that isn't the goal. The goal is to have maximum fun at minimum cost with un believable durability.
