Looking forward to both the FW190 and Me109, as it seems we have been waiting forever. I know I’m in the minority but I was hoping for the Basic kit version, keeping costs and engineering times down. Seems ZM original concept of both a SWS and a Basic version, the Basic version has been dropped. Of course I am planning on buying both kits. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Bill Enjoy the kit and looking forward to a build thread. Keep ‘em cominn Peter

John Alclad Dark Aluminum is looking mighty good. Can’t wait to see the paneling Keep ‘em comin Peter

Gaz Now I understand what you are trying to accomplish. It’s not that the color disappears but blends in shade with a complimentary shade in B&W. Not sure it will work without filters which allows the photographer to control the intensity of shades of gray. For example a red filter turns a blue sky sky to a very dark gray. Also, old B&W photos tend to fade, adding to the effect. Completely agree about the art side of modeling vs the historical side - two completely different camps. Keep ‘em comin Peter

Carl Nice progress and nice fix for the lost rivets. Keep 'em comin Peter

Incredible, just incredible Keep 'em comin Peter

Gaz Not sure about the monochrome vs color. I've spent years enjoying photography and do shoot a lot of B&W work. I'm not sure exactly what you want to accomplish but the lighter the color up to a Mid tone the better the chances it will not show up well in a B&W photo. Flat, dull lighting helps a lot. Nice work on your figure - the details are bringing it to life Keep 'em comin Peter

Gus Nothing like tinkering to get the feel of new paints. Looking forward to your next update with some fresh paint applied to the Cheetah Keep 'em comin Peter

Kev Nice work on the front office. I too love the Quinta sets and find the same issues with the handles and levers - applies to PE as well. Your solution is the only solution that worked for me. Keep 'em comin Peter
