Replica Mitsubishi A6M Zero - 零式艦上戦闘機 レプリカ - Walkaround - YOKAREN Peace Memorial Museum. 予科練平和記念館

The Mitsubishi A6M "zero"is a long-range fighter aircraft and was the main fighter of the Japanese Imperial Navy. it was developed by Mitsubishi in 1937 and entered production in 1939.

Approximately 10,000 aircraft were built by August 1945.

It was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter, but was usually referred to by its pilots as the Reisen(零戦, zero fighter)

The Zero quickly became known as a great dogfighter, with an outstanding kill ratio of 12 to 1.

But by 1943, due to inherent design weaknesses, rendering it extremely unmaneuverable at high speeds, and an inability to equip it with a more powerful aircraft engine, the Zero gradually became less effective against newer Allied fighters.

This Early Type 21 Mitsubishi Zero is a full-scale replica build
for the 5th anniversary of the opening of the Yokaren Peace Memorial museum.

The Replica project took several years and was made for 37.70 Million Yen in the
town of Ami.
It has been on display since 2015 next to the Yoshineren Peace Memorial Hall.

The Zero is on display during opening hours of the museum and will be displayed outside the hangar depending on the weather.
