Celebrated for its vintage 1973 design, this kit offers six decal options representing various WWII Pacific campaigns, making it a must-have for serious hobbyists and collectors seeking authentic floatplane fighter modeling. ## Description In 1939, the Naval Aviation Headquarters conceived a plan of trial manufacturing a floatplane fighter, a new type beyond all precedents in the world. On the assumption of landing and invading the Southern regions, the Japanese Navy intended in those days to station float planes in waterways and bays near the landing places until the completion of land air bases for the purpose of defending those under construction and occupied territories. Since the floatplanes might have to fight with enemy fighters in the air, they were required to be pure fighters comparing favorably with enemy fighters in performance. The Navy firmly believed that sufficiently armed floatplanes would be able to fight on equal terms with fighters considering that Type 95 Scout Seaplanes shot down Chinese fighters as successfully as did land based fighters at the early stage of the sino-Japanese incident. In 1940, the Naval Aviation Headquarters decided to trial manufacture floatplane fighters and ordered Kawanishi Aircraft, which was well experienced in manufacturing floatplanes, to trial manufacture them under the name of 15- Shi Floatplane fighter (later called Floatplane Fighter "Kyofu"). Review: Great kit - Best price anywhere Review: ベテラン二式水戦未だ現役なり - パッケージの「1973」のクレジットを見て分かる通り、本製品は1973年初版という半世紀以上前のベテランキットで、1/48スケールの二式水戦としては最初で最古のキットです。 プロポーションやディテールは今の目で見ると不満もありますが、実機らしさは充分出ており、登場当時としては出色の出来でしょう。 付属の立像と座像のパイロットフィギュアの出来は、今の目で見ても遜色ありません。 金型はさすがにくたびれてきたのか、パーツ精度はやや甘く、隙間や段差ができる箇所が少なくないので、キッチリ作るにはパテの使用は避けられないでしょう。 デカールにはソロモンからアリューシャンまで各戦線を網羅したマーキングが六種も収録されていてサービス満点。 デカールの質は昔より向上していますが、マーキングの考証は古いままなので、考証派のモデラーは資料などを参考にして、各自の解釈で仕上げると良いでしょう。 1/48の二式水戦は他にもハセガワやエデュアルド製のキットが存在し、どちらも本製品より新しく出来も良いですが、高価だったり入手困難だったりするので、手頃な価格で入手しやすい本製品は気軽に楽しむには最適でしょう。 ## Features - Kit is 8.2 Inch long - Kit includes detailed cockpit & engine - 1/48 Scale Aircraft ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000WN6SZQ | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Art Craft Kit Type | Model Kit - 1/48 Scale | | Brand | Tamiya | | Brand Name | Tamiya | | Colour | multicolour | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 146 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04950344987436, 04950344996803 | | Included Components | Detailed cockpit, engine, and other model kit parts | | Item Dimensions | 21 x 25 x 8.9 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 249 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 21 x 25 x 8.9 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | MMD Holdings, LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | TAM61017 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) | | Model number | TM61017 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Paint Type | Metal, Plastic | | Product Style | Classic | | Scale | 1:48 | | Seasons | All Seasons | | Set Name | Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) | | Size | Small | | Special Features | Detailed Cockpit and Engine | | Subject Character | Military | | Theme | Aircraft,Aviation | | UPC | 795864872558 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tamiya - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Colour:** multicolour - **Theme:** Aircraft,Aviation - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 21 x 25 x 8.9 Centimeters ## Images ![Models Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) Model Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516GUtTwMKL.jpg) ![Models Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) Model Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81w30JapHaL.jpg) ![Models Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) Model Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41mJkh-H1aL.jpg) ![Models Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) Model Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LqnXQEmhL.jpg) ![Models Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) Model Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61p2QvwGV3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit *by A***Y on 2 October 2024* Best price anywhere ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ベテラン二式水戦未だ現役なり *by A***ー on 4 June 2025* パッケージの「1973」のクレジットを見て分かる通り、本製品は1973年初版という半世紀以上前のベテランキットで、1/48スケールの二式水戦としては最初で最古のキットです。 プロポーションやディテールは今の目で見ると不満もありますが、実機らしさは充分出ており、登場当時としては出色の出来でしょう。 付属の立像と座像のパイロットフィギュアの出来は、今の目で見ても遜色ありません。 金型はさすがにくたびれてきたのか、パーツ精度はやや甘く、隙間や段差ができる箇所が少なくないので、キッチリ作るにはパテの使用は避けられないでしょう。 デカールにはソロモンからアリューシャンまで各戦線を網羅したマーキングが六種も収録されていてサービス満点。 デカールの質は昔より向上していますが、マーキングの考証は古いままなので、考証派のモデラーは資料などを参考にして、各自の解釈で仕上げると良いでしょう。 1/48の二式水戦は他にもハセガワやエデュアルド製のキットが存在し、どちらも本製品より新しく出来も良いですが、高価だったり入手困難だったりするので、手頃な価格で入手しやすい本製品は気軽に楽しむには最適でしょう。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value add. Detailed historical background with colour paint scheme illustration. *by L***Y on 30 May 2018* Great little kit! Quick built. Nice fitting parts, but be careful to line up the fuselage (I may have loosened the guide pins on mine). Raised panel lines, but the detail looks OK to me. Easy to modify for greater detail, given the low cost of the kit. Many decal options with two main paint schemes. Fast delivery (about a week), for an import. Overall, great value add to any 48er collection. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tamiya Models Nakajima A6M2-N (Rufe) Model Kit - Tamiya Models Nakajima Ki-84 IA Type 4 Hayate Model Kit - Hasegawa 1:48 Scale Mitsubishi F1M2 Type Zero Model Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/296553120-models-nakajima-a6m2-n-rufe-model-kit](https://www.desertcart.be/products/296553120-models-nakajima-a6m2-n-rufe-model-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
