The Zero fighters were used to provide air cover, attack American aircraft and strafe military installations across Oahu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe model is finished in the pale grey-green colour associated with early Japanese carrier fighters. Large red Hinomaru national markings are applied across the wings and fuselage, while the dark engine cowling and red tail identification markings provide contrasting detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary catalogue records describe CS90018 as an A6M3 Zero-Sen. However, the Zero fighters involved in the Pearl Harbor operation were A6M2 Model 21 aircraft. The broader Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen identification is therefore used in this listing to avoid presenting the catalogue variant label as definitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Mitsubishi Zero combined exceptionally light construction with long range and outstanding low-speed manoeuvrability. These qualities helped it achieve a formidable reputation during the opening stages of the Pacific War, although the limited protection provided for the pilot and fuel system became increasingly serious weaknesses as Allied tactics and aircraft improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Corgi Showcase model combines diecast metal construction with detailed plastic components, permanent pad-printed markings and realistic surface detailing. It is supplied with a poseable display stand and descriptive collector information card.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFact Sheet\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corgi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Showcase Collection \/ Fighter Scramble\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e CS90018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAircraft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen \/ Zeke\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Variant:\u003c\/strong\u003e A6M3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Pearl Harbor Variant:\u003c\/strong\u003e A6M2 Model 21\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperial Japanese Naval Air Service\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCampaign \/ Event:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attack on Pearl Harbor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTheatre \/ Location:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oahu, Hawaii\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate\/Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7th December 1941\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperator \/ Country:\u003c\/strong\u003e Imperial Japanese Navy \/ Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carrier-based fighter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:120\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e From 2001\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Diecast metal with detailed plastic sub-components\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-war Japanese naval finish, prominent Hinomaru national markings, dark engine cowling, red tail identification markings, rotating propeller, realistic panel detailing, poseable display stand and descriptive collector card\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eModel Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tcv-facts\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\" or 7.6 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth (Wingspan):\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5\" or 8.9 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eCondition\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Condition - Mint (10\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model is in mint condition overall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe model comes with a spare collector’s card.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBox condition - Very Good (7\/10)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe box is in very good condition overall, with some wear present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePricing sticker residue is present to the front of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhotographed under studio lighting to highlight even the smallest imperfections.
