The Nakajima A6M2-N (Navy Type 2 Interceptor/Fighter-Bomber) was a single-crew float seaplane based on the Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero Model 11. The Allied reporting name for the aircraft was Rufe.

The A6M2-N was only utilized in defensive actions in the Aleutians and Solomon Islands operations. Such seaplanes were effective in harassing American PT boats at night, and they were very difficult to detect, even with primitive radar. However, the large float and wing pontoons of the A6M2-N degraded its performance by about 20%, enough that the A6M2-N was not usually a match for even the first generation of Allied fighters.

This a fun variant of my A6M2 ‘Zero’. It has great performance but is a little nose tippy when below level-flight cruising speed. When maneuvering, you can catch the propeller in a sweet spot and it will spin on its own! Also, take of and landing can be a bit tricky at first but is easily mastered.

When taking off, accelerate slowly to 100% throttle and hold back on the stick until airborne. And when you want to land, be sure you approach at a very shallow angle, and don't make contact with the surface until you're speed is at least 140MPH or below. Hold back on the stick once contact is made to avoid rolling over.

Enjoy this and the baseline A6M2! And I am open to any recommendations or consults if you need some help/advice!
