I've noticed that I have a formidable artists of modeling and knowledgeable aviation and WWII especially in this forum.
I really look forward to learning from your contributions, reviews, tips and suggestions, which will make this a fun and so much knowledge.
NAKAJIMA A6M2-N type 2 Hidrofighter (RUFE) 1/48 Tamiya
Doing a bit of history and Cultural Breviary, I talk you about it "Interceptor / Hunting-bomber" (totally unknown to me before buying) ...
This floatplane was developed from the Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" ( my first plane in 1/48 8) ) with the purpose of developing amphibious operations and defending remote bases. It was based on a fuselage of the A6M-2 Model 11, with a modified tail, which floats were added. This device was a design Shinobu Mitsutake, chief engineer Nakajima (the manufacturer), and Atsushi Tajima, company engineer. A total of 327 devices were built, including the original prototype.
The aircraft was introduced in 1942, with designation Suisen 2, although it was only used in defensive actions in operations on the Aleutian Islands and the Solomon Islands. These devices were effective detecting PT torpedo boats during the night, and these vessels very difficult to detect, even for primitive radar of the time. The A6M2-N strafed these ships or illuminated with flares that were destroyed by Japanese artillery ships.
I do not want to extend deeper into the subject, but is a wonderful hydroplane, and will do my best ...
