There aren't too many Japanese aircraft around from the Second World War.
This Mitsubishi Zero is one though, having been recovered from the Marshall Islands by John Sterling in the 1990s.

The famous Mile Marker Zero / End US 1 sign in Key West, Florida. It's usually defaced, stolen, sticker-bombed, photographed, and part of the local tourism. Photo from June 2004.
I honestly cannot rate this game any higher; it's right up there in my top five games of all time. Not only is the story and gameplay absolutely fantastic, (with a wonderful female lead to boot!) but the world of H:ZD is utterly stunning, and it's almost impossible to take a bad screenshot as everywhere you turn there's something absolutely beautiful just waiting for you to line up the perfect shot. As a result I may have gone very slightly overboard on my caps here. :P

Gundam WING
Wing GUNDAM Zero
1/144 HGAC
This is the HGAC version "revive" kit of GUNDAM WING ZERO which was released on 2013. Having said that, it was around 1990-2000's that this Gundam was actually first turned into a kit.
The difference between the two released kits are significant as Bandai has virtually eliminated the need to paint with improved colored parts separation -- very favorable for beginner builders. Articulation and pose-ability is absolutely better with improved joint parts. And of course, the memories of the old series is far more easily remembered thanks to improved shape and proportion that really matches the one that you got to see on TV back then.

The Allies' main opponent in the Pacific air war, the Zero is the most famous symbol of Japanese air power during World War II. The fighter first flew in April 1939, and Mitsubishi, Nakajima, Hitachi and the Japanese navy produced 10,815 Zeros from 1940-1945. Zeros were produced in greater number than any other aircraft. Its distinctive design and historical impact make the Zero an important machine in air power history.
The Zero got its name from its official designation, Navy Type Zero Carrier-Based Fighter (or Reisen), though the Allies code-named it "Zeke." The Zero was the successor to the A5M Type 96 "Claude." Mitsubishi designed the A6M from Navy requirements set out in 1937 for a fighter that was fast, maneuverable and had great range. Designed as a carrier-borne fighter, it was exceptionally light compared to its opponents. This requirement was not only necessary to provide maneuverability but also was caused by the Zero's low-powered engine. Lack of interservice cooperation in engine development limited the horsepower available to Japanese designers. Other consequences included omitting armor protection for the pilot, not using self-sealing fuel tanks, and building lightweight wings as an integral part of the fuselage.
The A6M first saw combat in China in the late summer of 1940, and it quickly helped Japan dominate the air in Asia. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, 125 Zeros from six aircraft carriers participated. In the early part of the war, Allied aircraft such as the Curtiss P-40 and Seversky P-35 were at a disadvantage in a dogfight with a Zero flown by a skilled pilot, and the A6M became a well-known and dangerous opponent.
The Japanese advantage, however, began to disappear as American tactics evolved. American pilots gained experience fighting the Zero in China with the American Volunteer Group, known as the Flying Tigers, and at the Battle of Midway. The key to fighting the Zero was to stay out of dogfights, and instead use superior armament and hit-and-run diving attacks against the relatively fragile A6M. American fighters introduced in 1943 were more powerful (2,000-hp engines), faster, and had much more firepower than the Zero. As Allied pilots used their heavily-armed aircraft to advantage, the Zero's dominance ended. At the same time, the number of American aircraft and pilots increased, and the number of experienced Japanese aircrew shrank.
While development of the Zero continued by adding self-sealing tanks, armor plate and increasing horsepower to 1,150 hp, the later Zero was much heavier and thus less nimble. Weight increased 28 percent, but horsepower increased only 16 percent, degrading overall combat performance.
Beginning around October 1944 during the battle for the Philippines, Zeros were used in kamikaze attacks. Kamikazes used A6Ms more than any other aircraft for these suicide missions.
This Nakajima-built A6M2 was placed on display in 2004. It was found in Papua New Guinea, near the city of Kavieng on New Ireland, and was probably one of the aircraft delivered to Rabaul and operated at Kavieng by the 6th Kokutai (Squadron) and later by the 253rd Kokutai. It is painted to represent a section leader's aircraft from the aircraft carrier Zuiho during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, March 1943, in which Allied air power won a major victory over Japanese sea power. American and Australian aircraft sank four Japanese destroyers and 15 troop ships, and shot down more than 50 Zeros, preventing Japanese reinforcements from reaching New Guinea.

Compact, lightweight construction goes hand in hand with a robust build on the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 7‑14mm 1:2.8 PRO lens. Its dust, splash & freeze‑proof performance makes this super‑wide‑angle zoom lens perfect for shooting even in severe environments ‑ giving you full mobility on all your assignments. It has also been specifically engineered to work with the OLYMPUS camera’s built‑in image stabilisation so you can capture sharp hand‑held nightscape shots. Regardless of your scene, you have excellent depictive power up to the very edges of the image thanks to the special ZUIKO set of internal lenses and ZERO coating for reduced ghosting and flaring.
The Mitsubishi A6M Zero ("A" for fighter, 6th model, "M" for Mitsubishi) was a lightweight, carrier-based fighter aircraft employed by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service from 1940 to 1945. Its history mirrored the fortunes of Imperial Japan in World War II.
The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American fighter aircraft that saw service in World War II and the Korean War (and in isolated local conflicts). Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. The Corsair served in some air forces until the 1960s, following the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in history (1940 - 1953).
The Grumman F6F Hellcat was a fighter aircraft descended from the earlier F4F Wildcat, but was a completely new design sharing only a familial resemblance to the Wildcat. Some tagged it as "Wildcat's big brother" [1]. The Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair were the primary United States Navy carrier fighters in the second half of World War II.
The Hellcat proved to be the most successful aircraft in naval history, destroying 5,171 aircraft in service with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps (5,163 in the Pacific and eight more during the invasion of Southern France), plus 52 with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm during World War II.
At the afternoon at the Pavilion of Expo Zero there was hardly anyone. Compared to the crowd assembled between Cardo and Decumano streets, here it seemed to be in a land abandoned in the countryside, with little noise and plenty of space. This lonely boy, sitting in the hot sun, I thought he was charging after the efforts of the visit.

Di pomeriggio al Padiglione Zero di Expo non c'era quasi nessuno. Rispetto alla folla assiepata tra Cardo e Decumano, qui sembrava di stare in una landa abbandonata nella campagna, con pochi rumori e tanto spazio a disposizione. Questo ragazzo solitario, seduto sotto il sole caldo, mi pareva si stesse ricaricando dopo le fatiche della visita.
The Mitsubishi Zero was the primary Japanese Naval fighter in World War II. It was used in the attack on Pearl Harbor and in Kamikaze attacks near the end of the war. Allied pilots were astounded by its maneuverability, and it was very successful in combat until the Allies devised tactics to utilize their advantage in firepower and diving speed.
The A6M was given the Allied code name "Zeke," but was generally called Zero. Allied pilots referred to all Japanese fighters as Zeros, but the term is correctly applied only to the Mitsubishi A6M. The marking on this Zero are of the 261st Naval Air Corps, which operated in Saipan.
