Powered by the Nakajima Sakae radial engine, the Zero combined remarkable maneuverability with exceptional range, allowing Japanese naval aviators to conduct long-distance escort and interception missions. The Type 21 played a pivotal role during the attack on Pearl Harbor and throughout the early Pacific campaigns. Although later Allied fighters eventually surpassed it in protection and firepower, the Zero remains one of the most influential and recognizable fighter aircraft of World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hasegawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51276529074482,"sku":"HSG19143","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/3310\/6226\/files\/hsg19143-148-hasegawa-zero-fighter-type-21-squadron-model-models__11011.jpg?v=1781044624","url":"https:\/\/battlebornhobby.com\/products\/1-48-hasegawa-zero-fighter-type-21","provider":"Battle Born Hobby","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
