    Carl Looking so good and nice progress and then; ouch. Somehow on so many of the work in progress builds of late, Murphy has joined the show. Sorry to see how badly the tape glue adhered to the tail and now is an issue and has to be removed the hard way and then a redo in restoring the NMF. Fingers crossed martin's suggestions works like a charm 🤞

    John It's surely going to be a lot of work but in the end, you're going to have one beautiful Panther.

    Carl it's hard to tell on my end. Just do a quick test and compare the two bottles before moving on. It's seems lately, it's always something.

    John The front office is looking good and you're making some tough progress. Just hang in there and I'm right with martin about the epoxy/resin

    Gaz Egad, the negative aspects keep popping up their heads. I'm right with you and it certainly seems as if compromise is going to be needed to complete the kit. For me, it's going to be a lot easier as my knowledge of 109's is less then average and I wouldn't know enough to question details on or missing from the kit. I think I can hear your stomach tightening up into a knot!

    Bill. I'm with you and I'm not crazy about ZM IP's as well.

    Thanks Carl for the heads up. I'm going to buy a few bottles of both Mr Color and AK Real Colors has ADC Gray.

    Chris Keep us posted - 🤞

    Chris It could be the ovespray being mostly the same layer as the cammo, any wet sanding will remove any paint on that layer. Maybe the answer is to very gently use a small portion of a sanding sponge that only cover the overspray and that should do the trick. 🤞

    Ernie Completely agree on the production numbers should have been much higher ... I just wonder why?

    Scott WOW, looks fantastic and love the close up nose pic

    Carl Nice prep work and the glossy black primer looks perfect. Can't wait to see the 104 in her NMF.
  13. Peterpools
    Carl Right with you; read labels - never.

    Thanks Carl, sure looks more metallic on my screen but knowing it's black now, thin and smooth is the word

    John I see the gaps and they are certainly large. I'm thinking epoxy is the way to go. Fingers crossed

    Rob Awesome progress and your Lancia is looking fantastic. Cammo is the highlight of the show and the method you used with the oil marker was a first for me and note for future needs down the road. Thank you for adding the build here, as it is much easier to follow.

    Paul, nice progress and your method of doing the tracks in preparation for painting and weathering seems to be the way to go.

    John When I built my Sea Fury, I has the same gap issues at the wing/fuselage seams and huge gapes to fill. The cowling also had fit issues but not as bad. Paul sent me a few replacements for both and the best fit still had their share of gaps. My guess is this type of solid resin kit has a lot more shrinkage then a more conventional style. of injected molded.

    Carl Looking so good and you're so close to priming the full bird. Which primer did you use as in the photograph it appears to be a polished aluminum? I'm pretty much with Ernie and always wanted to build the Starfighter, just never got around to doing one. Note to self, add the 104 to the build schedule down the road.
  20. Peterpools
    Gaz Nice going and thank you for posting the detailed photos of your 'fix' - which worked perfectly. We're all in agreement that this fix should never have been necessary and shame on ZM for letting this error pass. Bill started his ZM 109 and has a build thread going ... going to be both fun and educational for me following and taking notes. I'm about two weeks away from starting mine and it seems we just might have a mini GB on hand. ☺️
  21. Peterpools
    Bill Hoping your recovery is as fast as possible and the pain is easing up after the surgery. Nice start on your ZM 109 .. engine assembly and bearer look spot on. I've been chomping at the bit to start mine but I need to first finish the Whirlwind. Just could be this might be a mini GB at this rate. Will be following with great interest

    Scott Holy Smokes, your Texan is looking simply fantastic - beautiful work.
  23. Peterpools
    Kriss Cammo work came out perfect - surely is going to be a stunner.
  24. Peterpools
    John A-OK - looks mighty good and glad the panther is back on the bench and underway again

    Rob Brilliant cammo work!
