Tamiya lists all three of their basic 1/48 kits as naval planes. Was there a version for non carrier based Zeros?

I wanted to do a land based diorama, with the 1/48 bulldozer pushing planes off or filling runway holes after a US raid.

A6M3 or A6M5C. Any huge problems using those variants for this situation?

thx - Craig

None at all. Land-based Zeroes had the tail hook, and many were ferried to land bases by carriers. Some were used for CAP during the ferry flights, and had to trap on the carrier, of course.
