Simple Mitsubishi A6M Zero

50.8k BMilan  5.8 years ago

The Mitsubishi A6M Reisen (or Zero) was a carrier based fighter plane used by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The name Zero comes from the plane's official designation Type 0 carrier fighter. The Allies referred to it as Zeke but later they started using Zero as well. The Zero was feared by its enemies due to its speed which was achived by reducing its weight as much as possible.
Originally built for the USS Arizona to showcase the AA guns' firepower I tried to make it very simple but as accurate as possible. The weight and speed is nearly identical to the original and the size is pretty close too. Thanks to the low part count I hope many people will be able to fly this beauty of a plane, it's very fun to fly it.
