Frets - exactly my dilema...both issues. I love doing the details, but to an extent, details can add fragility....but if all I cared about was how it looked in the air, I wouldn't be bashing the CMP Zero to the slight extent I am. I also believe that details...even small ones like the MG breeches, panel lines inside the canopy and rivets...add depth that make an otherwise ordinary ARF "pop" from even 10-15 ft away...

As for the colors, the more I read the more confused I get. And I've also read that the interior and exterior colors...(as well as components such as the spinner on some variants) of the A6Ms varied depending on manuafacturer, as Mitsubishi didn't build 'em all. So overall, I like a correct representation...but the Japanese military during WWII was very inconsistent, not well documented and difficult to verify in many cases. So, I'm pleased with how #2 is turning out and it's a big improvement over #1 already.
