Hi Sebastian Welcome At present and for the foreseeable future we are only armour and aircraft, so nothing outside that I am afraid Kind regards Nick

fantastic a wonderful advert for the Z-m kit i wonder if after having built this, you could give your thoughts on this vs the Revell offering? http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/445-zoukei-mura-he-219-is-it-worth-it/ i think it would be useful for our members to get another view from someone who has built this kit we all know there are pro / cons of each (accuracy vs price in my mind?), but hearing from someone with hands-on experience would be really good this certainly looks a show stopper to my mind cheers Nick

great Dave, very good to see your builds here what scheme will you be doing? Nick

So, how was The Moon?

Nice review Jim Wonderful looking kit

Come on now

Nice one Jim Looking forward to it

Think you need to hunt out Jennings Heilig maybe if no-one here can provide a definitive answer; JH would definitely know. Chaps, can we help at all?

the "only" accurate P-51 stencils... http://www.fundekals.com/p51Stencil.html

Simon Welcome Beautiful Spitfire, excellent photos, and your English is fine! But... Please be aware that LSM is for LARGE scale models = 1/35 or 1/32 and up or aircraft, 1/35 and up for armour. I will speak to the other Moderators to see what to do with your post etc and let you know Thank you Nick

Was that the chap from Revell I saw keeping an eye on things?!

Hi I'm posting from my phone so can't insert a link but for those wondering, the price is £33.57 from Hannants That seems pretty damn good value to me I may have to get one of these rather ugly but curiously appealing birds! Nick

Hi Petr Given there will be obvious comparisons made between your kit and that of PCM, would you be able to answer Cees' question? This in itself may answer lots of other questions people may have in the future. Also, regarding the clear fairings between wing and drop tanks that were present on the real aircraft, will these be clear on your kit / how will this be tackled? PCM has been quite innovative in this area I feel... Can't wait to see more pics when you have them. Kind regards Nick

Beautiful build Dave - a master class!

Hi Sean Welcome I took the liberty of editing your topic title and removed the duplicate thread Enjoy the forums Nick

Welcome John Very good to have you here Dave's 109 is indeed beautiful, and from a research perspective, I always find discussions like this both interesting and productive Whilst as a modeller I would rather know before the model is complete, I would rather know full stop, so "it's all good" as they say By the same token, it is also the modeller's responsibility to do the research (assuming he is thus motivated) Sometimes you just miss stuff - God knows I do that often enough!! All the best Nick

lovely Mike! my Mrs loves Dachshunds - might have to build this one for her one day great photoshopping too

thank you Petr i must say that the surface detail looks excellent

So that's it nailed surely? Hurricane

As I struggle to stay awake whilst te subject turns to jets (sorry), I find it an interesting assertion that the Sabre would outsell the MiG... In the USA perhaps, but in Europe? I wouldn't be so sure... Everyone knows MiGs, even if they don't know which one they know, if you see what i mean; not sure the same can be said about the Sabre here in Europe. Personally, I quite like the F-86's lines, and remember making one in teeny weeny weeny 1/72 when I was like 6 years old!

Mark I for me I'll start building that immediately after review Lol :0

Fyi i am talking about 1/32, not 1/48, so... re Tamiya, well I'm just telling you what two other aircraft they measured, and every one they have measured they have made. Also, applying logic to Tamiya-san's thought processes is well, as Mr Spock would say, "not logical"

Wow Looks fantastic Thank you Petr for the additional information and pictures Can't wait! Kind regards Nick PS is there a 'ball park' indication on price yet?

To ramble OT, yes I do understand that Fw190 (A...or F?, not D) is next from Z-m Also watch for a 109E or Hurricane from Tamiya - they measured one of these two (maybe both) when doing Corsair research at the museum in Canada they go to, but the guy who works with them (Bob Swaddling, on HS) wouldn't say which Remember that!

Been discussed a lot before by us here actually (the staff that is) Basically, 1/32 is where the big boys play: the standards for accuracy are much higher than in 1/48, especially for iconic subjects such as the 109, P-51' Spitfire etc Eduard were a little miffed when their 109 did not get the plaudits they thought it deserved (it is ok, but far from great, and the DML kit is a lot better in my own view), hence the retreat from 1/32 as I see it On the flip side, why not go for the "low hanging fruit"?? (a ghastly business bs term, but fair enough in this context) 1/48 is massive, and very lucrative, so good luck to them I only wish that they would bring out some of their 1/48 accessories in 1/32 eg the drop tank for the Spitfire came out in a flash, whereas I have been waiting for one of those in 1/32 since the release of Tamiya's über-kit
