Part of my scaled WW2 series - All aircraft built to scale, with accurate weights, speeds and flight characteristics to the original.

Jiro Horikoshi was seen as one of the greatest aviation designers of the time, and his creation focused on ignoring metal aircraft that foreign nations were announcing, instead sticking to a light airframe of canvas and wood. A masterful design created a fighter with incredible range and dogfighting superiority, with the sacrifice of armor.
