About product

Brengun 1:144 A6M2-N Rufe photo-etched set, two sets in the box

An accessory from the Czech maker Brengun, intended for the plastic model of the Japanese A6M2-N floatplane fighter named in the title. It is not a kit: according to the name the box holds two identical sets of photo-etched metal parts, and the aircraft model itself is not included.

The real subject

The A6M2-N, given the Allied code name Rufe, was a floatplane conversion of the A6M2 carrier fighter. It received a large central float under the fuselage, a pair of outrigger floats under the wing and a revised vertical tail surface. The machine was meant to operate from water bases where no airfields were available. The silhouette with the floats makes the Rufe a conspicuous piece in a collection, one that stands out even in a small scale.

Tips for working with small parts

The smallest photo-etched parts are under a millimeter in this scale and fly off easily. Work over a light surface with a rim, or over a spread-out cloth, and use tweezers with fine, smooth tips. Do not grip a part hard, because thin sheet takes an impression. Dispense super glue from a drop spread on a piece of plastic and apply it with a pin or a wire so that the glue does not run into the surroundings. With the float fittings and the struts it pays to dry-fit the placement before the glue comes into play.

Who the set is for

  • builders of Japanese aviation subjects in 1:144 scale
  • modelers who want to raise the detail of a floatplane fighter
  • more experienced hands interested in working with very small photo-etched parts
  • those building a pair of models who will use both sets

The set is an accessory to a plastic kit, which it does not include. The parts are supplied unpainted; glue, paints and the model itself are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
