NUOTIE 1/72 A6M3 Type 32 Zero Fighter Diecast Metal Model with Stand

Product Overview

The A6M3 Type 32 was the Zero with its wingtips cut off. To take the more powerful Sakae 21 engine, Mitsubishi simplified the folding wingtip mechanism away, squaring the wing planform — and the clipped-wing Zero spent 1942 operating over Rabaul and the Solomons with the Imperial Japanese Navy. This 1/72 replica carries the markings of a well-known airframe from that period: tail code V-190 of the Tainan Air Group, with the Hokoku-874 (Tepei-go) dedication inscription painted beside the cockpit, where Japanese donation-funded aircraft carried the names of their sponsors.

Key Features

• Clipped-Wing Type 32 Silhouette: the squared-off wingtips that set the Type 32 apart from earlier Zeros, with red Hinomaru roundels on both wings and fuselage.
• Historic Markings: V-190 tail code and the Hokoku-874 (Tepei-go) script on the fuselage side, faithful to the Tainan Air Group's Rabaul-era aircraft.
• Diecast Metal Body: a heavy, substantial airframe with painted panel lines and a durable industrial finish.
• Display-Ready Posture: black display stand holds the aircraft in a climbing pose; the landing gear and centreline drop tank are moulded in place.
• 1/72 Scale: based on the full-size Type 32's roughly 11-metre span, expect about 15 cm (6 in) across the wings and 12.5 cm (5 in) of fuselage.

Who It's For

A single well-known airframe rather than a generic Zero, this one suits collectors who want the Japanese side of the Pacific story on the shelf — it sits naturally beside a Wildcat or Hellcat of the same scale, aircraft it actually fought against in 1942 and 1943.
