I have four 1:72 Zeros--three from Dragon, including two Saburo Sakai white Zekes, this green A6M2, and a green Matchbox--and this is by far my
favorite. The paint job is excellent, it's just a great-looking plane with very few minuses. The only major gripe I have is with the gear doors in the
"parked" position--the doors do not sit flush with the wing, but rather float several virtual inches below, which just looks bizarre. Still, if you're into Zeros,
this one should be on your hit list. Recommended!
