1:72 Nakajima A6M2-N Rufe


Recommended Posts

Hasegawa venerable 1:72 Nakajima A6M2-N, floatplane version of the famous A6M2 Zero.
The kit is still quite nice despite its age, but the decals have become yellow and brittle. As a result, I masked and painted nearly all the markings, except the tail code and some tiny text decals.

This Rufe turned out great.  Even more impressive is how you overcame the aged decals and created your own by painting them.  I really like the subtle discoloration between panels.  It`s certainly one to be proud of.  :goodjob:

That's a very nice clean-built Rufe. Congratulations!

Thank you! I might weather the float further at a later date, but this is it for now.

Thank you! I'm certainly happy wit the result. The decal is always a challenge with Hasegawa kit. Now I am ready for it when Eduard will release their 1:48 Rufe.
