Eduard 1/48 A6M2-N "Rufe"
Photos of Eduard's 1/48 A6M2-N "Rufe". Great kit built mostly OOB except for pitot tube made from Albion telescoping brass rod. I used Uschi nylon thread .005 for the rigging. All markings were painted using custom masks drawn in CAD and cut on Silhouette Cameo 4 cutter. Only decals that I used were small stencils less than 1/4" everything else is painted. Photos are series of 8-12 shots stitched using Helicon software to achieve depth of field. Base is a 1/4" circular steel plate with magnets in the trolley wheels to keep it in place.

Really nice work on this Joe, and a great result.
Wow that's an eye popper. Exquisite finish.
This is a cracking good kit, got the double for my kid so I can steal one.
Excellent job and awesome result, Joe!

G’day Joe (@mercenarymodels),
What a great build.
Liked!
Love it. Great finish.
Nicely weathered Rufe.
That is excellent! May I ask what paint you used for the main color? I'd like to replicate that scheme on my 1/72 Rufe build.
Thanks Greg. I used Mr. Color Gray Green 128
Beautiful build! The paint and weathering are awesome!
Excellent build, a real beauty.
Superb Rufe ! Bravo
