Tamiya 61017 Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) in 1/48 scale captures a unique float version of the Japanese fighterA6M2 Zero aircraft that has been modified for operations from water surfaces and forward naval bases. The development of this aircraft was in response to the need for mobile fighter cover for island bases and lagoons where conventional airfields could not be built.
The A6M2-N, manufactured by Nakajima, retained much of the flight characteristics of the original Zero, but withbut the additional centre float and stabilising struts increased weight and reduced top speed. Rufe aircraft were deployed in the Aleutian Islands, Solomon Islands and New Guinea, where they participated not only in defensive operations but also in attacks on Allied vessels.
The Tamiya model offers a high level of detail, including:
- Detailed cockpit with authentic controls
- Realistic float landing gear, faithful to the original
- Authentic weaponry, including two 20mm cannons and two 7.7mm machine guns
- Accurately modelled surface panelling and historically accurate markings
Precision workmanship and historical accuracy make this model an ideal choice for modelers interested in Japanese naval aircraft and unique WWII modifications.
The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
