Jap Zeros from WWII Plastic Models, Die Cast Models, Wood Model Kits and Mahogany Models of the Mitsubishi A6M Japanese Zero Fighter.Japanese Zero, Mitsubishi A6M Zeros model airplanes of the Jap zeros showing Japanese aircraft at their best, the Japanese Zero was the most well know of all Japanese aircraft. |
The A6M Jap Zero is one of the most famous of the Japanese fighter airplanes. This Japanese fighter airplane is one that attacked Pearl Harbor in WWII on Dec 7th, 1941. This aircraft is one of the historic airplanes from Japan and would be a great addition to your historic airplane collections. These Japanese airplanes out climbed, out gunned and out maneuvered the American aircraft. However, the Jap Zero was built to be very light and agile. To do this they didn't put self sealing tanks, armor around the tanks, pilot or engine and didn't build the aircraft to withstand the maximum aerodynamic forces. This made the Zeros very easy to shoot down, as many American Pilots attest. One famous battle was the Marianas Turkey Shoot. This plane is most commonly called the Jap Zero.

A6M2-N
Floatplane Fighter Tony Weddel. The Rufe was born out of the Japanese Navy's need for a single-seat fighter that could be used primarily from military installations on small Pacific Islands, where it was impossible to build landing fields. Except for the addition of floats and some minor structural changes, it was almost identical to the Zero in design and performance. Here, Rufes defend Japanese shipping from American B-25s and P-38s during the Aleutian campaign. A6M2 Zero piloted by Lt. Yasushi Nikaido during the second wave of attacks on Pearl Harbor flies past the burning wreckage of the USS Arizona. Developed by the Japanese Navy to fly off I-400 and I-401 submarines, the Aichi M6A1 Seiran had floats for landing next to its sub and folding wings for compact storage.

Designed to intercept the hordes of US B-29 bombers pounding the Japanese mainland, this canard pusher prop aircraft might have made a difference if it was deployed in time. The IJNAF also proposed a jet version of this aircraft. Developed by the IJN, Imperial Japanese Navy as a land based, short range interceptor, the J7W Shinden, "Magnificent Lightning", was designed for interceptor missions against the B-29 attacks on Japan.

There was a simple pattern to the Allied codenames that were given to aircraft,
they went as follows: Males first names were given to fighters and
reconnaissance seaplanes. Trainers were named after trees. Gliders used
bird names. Bombers, flying boats, reconnaissance aircraft, and transport
airplanes were given female names. There was a simple list for
manufacturers too. Manufacturer Codes: A Aichi or North American H Hiro or Hawker N Nakajima W Watanabe Kyushu When I first read this list it seemed like the complete guide to aircraft manufacturers, however there are a number of manufacturers that have been totally left out, such as Kawasaki. |
