I'm a sucker for a Zero, and will purchase just about any 1/72 version
available. This is a very good model and highly recommended. As
with most of my Corgi models, the landing gear doors don't quite
fit in the wing wells.

A good model, and worth getting if you are a Zero fan. I like the
stance it has on its extended gear. Still, the worn green over silver
isn't the most attractive of color schemes.

This version of the Zero points out more than any other that Corgi
has to update their design. The canopy is too heavy-handed, the
gear doors don't fit, and the tailwheel doesn't have a retracted
option. For an example of a Zero with a good canopy paint job, click
here.
The orange color on the belly of this training version
of the Zero is almost identical to the color used by the British
for its test and training aircraft. However, the yellow seems too
bright, and the green is too light (see AA33102 and HC33106 above
for the more normal green color).
