Default Help Identifying 1/5 A6M5 Zero

I was wondering if anyone might recognize this Zero. I purchased it at 3Gs Hobby Shop in West Palm Beach before they closed. It was dropped off by the builders wife who was selling his planes. There was a Hurricane nicely built as well as a Platt 109, as well as some other unbuilt 1/5 kits.

The plane is a Yellow Aircraft fuse with a built up wing. The rivet and panel detail are very nice top and bottom. It has the correct armored plate behind the pilot, with one machine gun correctly removed in the cowl. It has a U.S. Engines (quadra) 45 for power. It looks like an older build, possibly from the 90's.

If anyone from South Florida recognizes the plane, any information regarding the builder or previous owner, or providence of the plane (if any) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Anthony
