History
The Mitsubishi A6M8 was the last variant of the infamous Zero family. The model 54 was converted from a A6M5c, the main upgrade was its powerplant from the Sakae 21 to the more powerful Kinsei 62, the same Engine fitted on the Ki-100.
The Cowling was redesigned and the cowling HMG was entirely removed due to lack of space. The Model 64 was supposedly the main production of the variant and has slightly improved skin armor and an added fuselage fuel tanks, whereas the Model 54 still needed retrofits to get the same results as the model 64. Only 2 Model 54 prototypes were built and none for the Model 64.

Excellent work
@yosshi31 yours still looks quite good though for a cheapet alternative.
It's much more precise and wonderful than the A6M I made once in the past!

You finally made it. Congrats!
