Default A really small float plane build thread
OK, I've never done a build thread but what the heck here goes

The Subject? a Nakajima A6M2-N,, Yes a Rufe a real small Rufe. Actually it will be a kit bash from a GSW Zero kit, with scratch built floats

I ordered the Kit and flight pack a few days ago and the FedEx Babe dropped it off today, the box looked like it was packaged well but upon removing the parts for inspection I noticed a little damage on the fuselage and the sticker sheet looks real bad,, I'll be emailing the vendor to see what he says about replacing the decal/sticker sheet,, the small dents in the fuselage halves I can live with since I'll most likely repaint anyway,, we'll see.

I plan to built the main and tip floats so the are removable so I can fly the plane at the park or where ever too,, we have a nice little fishing pond in town and a small electric float plane should fit in nicely.

Stay tuned,,, or not
