The Zero that crashed in the Alaska in 1942 and was made flyable by the US to learn about its strengths and weaknesses, is it still around today?

from Wiki:

"The Akutan Zero was destroyed during a training accident in February 1945. While the Zero was taxiing for a take-off, a SB2C Helldiver lost control and rammed into it. The Helldiver's propeller sliced the Zero into pieces. From the wreckage, William N. Leonard salvaged several gauges, which he donated to the National Museum of the United States Navy. The Alaska Heritage Museum and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum also have small pieces of the Zero."

Was the Helldiver pilot credited with a kill?
