Paul, that's an A6M Zero. Probably a dash-3 by the look of the canopy. Geez, eh.
I don't know the model number, but that particular Zero, flew in New Zealand at Warbirds over Wanaka. It is an American owned craft, and one of only a few in the world that is still air worthy.
Sadly I did not get down to that event to see it in person. It was a long way ahead with aluminum technology far ahead of the USA in 1941. A captured one, led to the Alcoa company in Pittsburgh developing alloy 7075 and others as well.
Here is a video, to hear what they sounded like.
