1/24 Trumpeter A6M-2N "Rufe"

That's a very tidy project Kevin. Apart from all the ejector marks, the Trumpy Rufe looks to be a fine kit. I find it odd that no one has released a Rufe in 1/32. Seems a natural extension to Tamiya's existing Zero masterpieces.

 

Looking forward to more!

I too wish Tamiya had one, and they probably will, once I finish this one!

Cowl flaps. What’s that, ejector pin marks? Who would’ve guessed.

Kevin,

 

Time to cut up a red bull can!

Nice build and I was thinking of buying this kit. I will wait and get your final thoughts.

With cowl flaps now corrected, I have painted cowl inside and out with preliminary colors, with some subtle wear and tear still to be added. I’m on vacation all this week, so more pictures will be posted, probably on a daily basis.

Beaching dolly is more or less complete now. I realized when I viewed this photo, that rust effects need to be subdued further still. I’ll take care of that this week.
