Detailed Description

This Corgi AA33103 model represents the Mitsubishi A6M3-21 Zero operated by the Tainan Kōkūtai, one of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s most elite fighter units during the early Pacific War.

The aircraft depicted is flown by Saburo Sakai, one of Japan’s most famous fighter aces, credited with over 60 aerial victories. Sakai flew numerous missions across the Solomon Islands and New Guinea campaigns, often against overwhelming odds.
