Daniel, see if someone's got the old Hasegawa kit (70's version).
It came with all three cowling types (A6M2,3 and 5), being the same kit sold in different boxings (with appropriate decals for the box version).
Possibly their '90s kit has all three too..? (I haven't seen it)
Good call Wayne on the training unit,
Figured out the squadron on the box. According to the profile I found its of the Tsukuba Naval Air Corps of the Imperial Japanese Navy Airforce from Oita Air Base July 1945. Profile is suppose be of a Mitsubishi A6M5C Model 52C. It was an advance training unit deployed for home defense duties.
I think only 93 Mitsubishi A6M5C Model 52C were made.

Reckon i have that old Hasegawa kit somewhere Daniel, will check the stash!
109 don't be discouraged. Even crappy kits have some promise. This Advent kit is the old 50's Revell kit. She has lots of life yet!
Would be bloody appreciated mate -Il go take a photo of the cowling now
Many thanks guys for your help!
