That looks an awful lot like one I saw on Tinian Island there Shuff.  I'll see if I can dig the pic up and get it on here.

I wonder if it is an A6M.

It's a Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Allied codename 'Zeke'; late-model A6M5 Type 52 by the look of it, as it has multiple exhaust pipes and the cowling louvres for the over-the-engine machine guns.

Wow, I just felt like I watched a car commercial. 

Nice job.

Cool picture. Just made it my desktop background.

Having trouble telling since the entire cowling is ripped apart. Looks like someone stripped it of the cowling guns, ammunition magazines, and the aux. tank. The wings are all pretty indistinguishable and can't tell if it has the old Type 99 Mark I short-barrel 20mm or the newer Mark II model.
