I'll let him commit to increasing his stash ha ha , making research on the zero, apparently the cockpit color varied between builders , I intend to do the junyo one for the tamiya and the boxart one for the a6M5b from hasegawa. I already tempted one tamiya zero when I started but completly butchered it I think (I got the box but not the model)

I was perusing and I saw the Fine Molds A6M5 for under $36 dollars. I was should I stay or should I go? If I stay. there will be trouble, If I leave, I save my pennies.

Why not!?
It could be fun to make a land vehicle after so many airplanes...
But after the Italian summer holidays
...It could be good from September onwards

I personnaly intend to get the A6MK from eduard, I like the hybrid scheme, Igot the tamiya also because it's a 2nd attempt, my first was when I started and I completely massacred it I think since I can't find the model itself, jsut the box, from japan I also have a kitsuka and a fugaku. if eduard mark their box as temporarily unavailable, can one assume other site will eventually get the kit?

I have the Eduard combo with the A6MK and the A6M5. I also got an Eduard A6MK overtrees from a seller in Texas. Then I have three A6MKs from Hasegawa. There will be one more in the 65th Mitsubishi box set. I believe I have more than enough. The hybrid schen is pretty cool and I like it a lot as well.

For sure. I have this fascination with the IJN and IJA air forces that has grown with time and knowledge. When I was a wee lad, I received a Hasegawa H6K and H8Ks. I think that's when I become hooked. I have always had an immense interest in Asian cultures, especially Japan's.

I just wanted to point out that one can never have too many Spitfires, Wildcats, 109's, P-38's etc., etc...so there! 
You could be onto something there. My first kit was the ubiquitous Airfix Spitfire.

They both build up into nice kits. It's a "W"!
Resistance is useless when it comes to Zeroes.......and 109's and 190's and......others.....
