I'm a bit late here to congratulate Tom, it does look great. Can't keep of all the GB's everywhere but I keep joining more
I added two more to my Tamiya A6M3/3a, a Hasegawa Rufe and A6M2K trainer version. I put the box top photos in my original post on page 2.

I need to get back on mine. The canopy masking has stopped me dead. For Tamiya, the canopy sucks. It seems to fit okay, but the frame marking are very faint and the masks do not line up very well.

Oh you’re fixing this build up nicely! As far as the cockpit green goes, I think that Tamiya’s color is supposed to be the Nakajima shade. The Mitsubishi color is closer to US Interior Green in appearance as opposed to how the Nakajima color is more like that of the RAF.

Coming along nicely! Of the last couple of builds of this kit I've seen (including mine), you are the only one to remember to put the weight in the float!
