• Historical back ground
  Summer time of 1942 saw the development of the A6M3 Model 32, which was driven by a Sakae 21 engine and featured an 11m wingspan with clipped wingtips. Although top speed increased, its range paid down drastically; which means A6M3 Model 22 ended up being rushed into development to correct this shortcoming. The 12m wingspan and folding wingtips were reintroduced to regain maneuverability and new wing gas tanks restored range to 2,560km. The Model 22 (A6M3a) which was fitted with long-barreled cannons had been also put in manufacturing. Deployed from very early 1943, these Zeroes battled U.S. fighters before end for the war.
