My latest build, this time of Airfix's A01005A kit. It depicts an A6M2b of the 3rd Air Group, 202st Kokuta, Imperial Japanese Navy, Rabual, during September 1942. It goes together nicely, with my only real construction issue being the landing gear fitment to the wings. My only additions were tape seat straps, and a replacement pitot tube as the original broke off. Airfix would have you fit the aerial mast; reference photos show it was not used:

I learned a few things about A6M2 colours along the way. I try not to get bogged down in too much research these days as it affects my fun factor. Here's my Zero!
