Oh wow!.. I love it. The details are great for that size. I have always appreciated the speed and agility of the A6M2 Zero. It had impressive top speed of 350 mph at nearly 20,000 feet.
Very cool dio!

Wow! Very nice job there!

At 1/144, that pilot would be around 1/2” tall? You did a great job on the guy :+1:
