    Built this one from a Hasegawa 1/72 scale kit some 20 years ago. It depicts a late war Mitsubishi A6M5 probably a "B" version of the plane, but cannot remember it too well now. I tried to make it as close to the original paint scheme and details as much as I could, whilst brass etching had been added to the cockpit interior, although the details cannot be seen from the pics posted here. I would appreciate if someone could tell me something more about this model plane, the unit(s) it belonged to, its airbase(s), operational history etc, if at all possible. Thanks.
