First assigned to flight groups in early 1943, the Model 22 saw extensive and heavy action in the hotly contested Solomon Islands campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/72 scale kit from Tamiya is a detailed replica of this important Zero variant. The model accurately captures the more symmetrical form of the Model 22, including its redesigned engine cowling and classic wing shape. The kit features an accurately reproduced cockpit interior and landing gear bay, options for long or short-barrel wing cannons, an open or closed canopy, and two different marking options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe classic 12-meter wingspan of the Model 22 is accurately captured\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptional parts are included to depict the longer wing-mounted machine gun barrels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe canopy can be assembled in either the open or closed position\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA detailed cockpit interior and landing gear bays are realistically reproduced\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo different marking options are included for aircraft serving in the Solomon Islands\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe redesigned engine cowling for the Sakae 21 engine is faithfully replicated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic kit from Tamiya's highly-regarded 1\/72 War Bird Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 126mm (4.96\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWingspan: 167mm (6.57\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Clear Parts Sprue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426707353801,"sku":"10033140","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426927063241,"sku":"10033140","price":34.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/d7d7d1731bb34b3cadec064c04b84042.webp?v=1763103773","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-72-mitsubishi-a6m3-zeke-zero-fighter-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
