miketippingmodels Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 1/32 Tamiya Nakajima A6M2-N RUFF the resin float is very heavy and was connected using pins top and bottom, the resin its self isn't very good, its detail is lost in places and needed re drilling and rescribing, any way enjoy Mike Dpgsbody55, Tnarg, frank83 and 38 others 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Most excellent! I love it. My copy wouldn't even hold the completed model so I ended up remaking the beaching trolly. Well done! Martinnfb and mc65 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmbock Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 This is not often seen! One of my favorites! I really love it, great build and the weathering is just right! Spot on! Great work and very inspiring! Are the markings hand painted or do you use some decals? Lutz Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idem, the total weight is too much for the provided resin trolley, I did the mine sodering some brass profiles. also the main float is poor in surface detail, but is the only player on this game, so it's the winner! nice rendition of a superb aircraft, congrats!

Alain Gadbois Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Worn finish is spectacular! One detail no one will notice I'm sure: there is no head rest on the Rufe! Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
