[Product Introduction]
HASEGAWA 1/72 Aircraft Series Zero Type Carrier Fighter Type 52. The Type 52 Zero carrier-based fighter is a Japanese Navy fighter that was active in World War II and the Pacific War. The Zero Fighter Type 21 was feared by the enemy as a high-performance aircraft, but in the 1940s, its speed and weapons began to be inferior to new enemy fighters. Therefore, the 52 type was developed following the 32 type and 22 type. In order to improve speed, the width of the main wing was shortened to 11m, and the cowling (cover that covers the engine) was redesigned to create a single thrust exhaust pipe (exhaust pipe that uses engine exhaust to obtain some thrust). ) is equipped. As a result, it can now reach a maximum speed of 590km/h, which is 25km faster than the Zero Fighter Type 22's maximum speed of 565km/h. A total of approximately 6,000 Zero Fighter Type 52 series were produced and were active until the defeat in the Pacific War.
