Although top speed increased, its range was reduced drastically; therefore, the Model 22 (A6M3) was rushed into development in order to correct the Model 32's shortcomings. Overall performance improved as the 12m wingspan and folding wingtips were reintroduced to regain manoeuvrability, and new wing fuel tanks restored range to 2,560km. The Model 22 (A6M3a), which was fitted with long-barreled cannon,s was also put into production. Deployed mainly to the Solomon Islands from early 1943, Zeroes had fierce battles against U.S. fighters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Model\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1\/48 scale plastic assembly model kit of the Mitsubishi A6M3 Model 22 Zero.
