This was my first Dragon Zero, which models one of the mounts of the infamous Japanese ace Saburo Sakai -- from Rabaul, 1942. While the detail is
good, it's not one of my favorite Dragon Warbirds. The panel detailing seems a bit overdone, and the gear is a bit strange with a large gap between the
door and wing in the "down" position that just looks off. And NO moving control surfaces!Still, it's a great-looking Zero that looks that much better when
you put it next to just about any other 1:72 Zero from another maker.  Recommended! RESHOOTING AND REPOSTING THIS PICS AS SOON AS
CAN.

The finish looks realistic and accurate.

# 50010: A6M2 Zero "Sakai"
Note: I am currently missing the antenna. Should it even have an antenna? I was under the
impression that early war Zeros did not have radios. (The canopy slides, see mouse-over.)
