The Zero A6M from Phoenix is a true-to-scale warbird with a 2.03m wingspan. The model is constructed in an extremely light and high-strength wooden construction and is designed for both combustion and electric drives.
The original
The Mitsubishi A6M Zero was the most important fighter plane for the Japanese during World War II. The "Zero" was the first ship-based fighter plane to surpass the performance of land-based fighters and was used very successfully in the Pacific War against the USA - including in the famous attack on "Pearl Harbor". The Zero was far superior to its American opponents due to its high maneuverability and extreme range. Many aircraft of this type were used by suicide pilots as "kamikazes" against ships.
The model - absolutely true to the original
This model from Phoenix is in no way inferior to its original. Many beautiful detailed solutions make the Zero look like the original when viewed on the ground. And in the air, the model also gives off an absolutely "scale" flight image, which is almost indistinguishable from the flight image of the manned model. The cockpit, pilot and instruments in the cabin are also realistically reproduced.
Wooden construction with an extremely high degree of prefabrication
The model is made of extremely light and high-strength balsa/plywood. The laser-cut construction impresses with an extremely high degree of prefabrication, which means that the construction effort is reduced almost to the installation of the drive and electronics. There is plenty of space under the large removable canopy for installing the electronics. The Zero is completely covered with foil.
Electric retractable landing gear included
The model comes with an electrically retractable main landing gear and an electrically retractable nose gear. The landing gear legs are made entirely of CNC-milled metal.
Electric or combustion engine
This model can do both! The construction is prepared for both electric drive and combustion engine drive. So the only question is: great sound or absolute efficiency?
