Guillow's Nakijima A6M2-N Rufe Model Kit Small

If your looking for a quick easy stick n tissue build this is for you. Just take your time and be patient and it comes together almost perfectly, I just had to do a little sanding where the wing and tail wing attach to the plane.

I used this kit as the basis to build an A6M(5?) Zero model for a film project. (I left the pontoons off of it, but added one of the smaller ones to the center to double as a “drop tank) This is the first ever balsa and tissue kit I’ve ever built. This is probably a decent kit for beginners. The finished model is a decent scale. I was happy with the end results.

Laser cut parts makes it sooo much easier. Fun build.

Good task for me boys. Love planes. John 3:3. Fun

This is another excellent Guillow's model that will look realistic and hopefully,fly under rubber power. Only complain, the absence of pieces needed to complete build properly--tripled on one piece; I had to correct for this Buyers be aware of this fact. I think the problem is that this plane was once set to function as control line model.None the less.I am enjoying building the model.Have almost completed it--looks very realistic--wonder if it will fly

I built this while waiting for my factory ordered Subaru to arrive. It took 5 months but I got exactly what I wanted, a 2023 Impreza with a 5 spd manual (to be discontinued after this year). This plane model now sits on the Salesman's desk. Nice guy! Anyway, Nakajima Aircraft Company (Japan's oldest) built this plane and a myriad of others, the motors that went into the Mitsubishi Zero, and was ultimately bombed and disbanded into smaller engineering and production units at the end of WW2. These companies later reformed these fragmented parts into Fuji Heavy Industries which was later renamed; you guessed it, SUBARU.

My favorite Guillows model so far. Has an interesting design which is not too difficult to complete. Comes with white tissue paper, but I used my own colored paper. It took a couple of weeks, after I had already gained some experience building two other models. It has no landing gear and does not sit flat, so hang it from the ceiling when you are finished.

Will be building soon. Looking forward to it.
