I built Hasegawa's
1/48 A6M2-N "Rufe" using Eduard's photoetched detail set. It includes
items for the cockpit, engine, and flaps. It's addition brings the level of
detail up to the larger scale kits (and saves money and shelf space). I only
wish they had included cowl flaps.

I added some wiring
and linkages that were missing from the Eduard set, using this walkaround as
reference: http://j-aircraft.com/walk/dave_pluth/blayd/blayd.htm .
I found a photo of this aircraft
which shows that the paint is intact, and the airframe was kept clean.

I used Model Master SAC Bomber
Tan to replicate the Nakajima Amber Gray (Ame-iro) that these aircraft wore. I
used the kit decals, and clear coated it with a mixture of Testor's Dullcote and
Glosscote.
