Making Progress on A6M2

Have basically completely assembled this kit in less than two nights. I was amazed at how simple it was yet with a decent level of detail. I am curious as to whether the decals in the kit are correct for a Pearl Harbor attack wave aircraft? Also what interior color should I use? I am also debating whether to build it wheels up or wheels down. What are your opinions on this?

What kit are you using.

Here is a link for paint colors.

Can’t help you with the markings.

From past experience, About the rasied or lowered landing gear. If you were going to mount it on a stand with a base, then I would build it wheels up. With this, you expose the stream lined aircraft. If you want it to sit on a shelf then build it wheels down. Also, with wheels down, there is a lot more work involved.
