Thanks Rob, appreciated, the PE sorted it , I think..... these were the IP and switch box OOB.....

Thanks Harv, I agree when I first saw the consoles I thought that’s not very refined, I think it’s just the colour and the look of plastic. Then I hit with some paint a voila........was Vegas empty?

Ok guys........side consoles, IP and switching box. One of the PE parts which down crooked and it’s bugging me now, do not to ruin it though......auxiliary tank, battery, radio with a few embellishments........ Not sure if to Matt lacquer the IP and consoles?

Harv, you were off whooping up in Cali..........much appreciated, the engineering is very good and different.........

Thanks Jeff much appreciated, it’s slow and enjoyable....

It will be a stunner, order the lights and champagne.........

I like the slightly past the showroom look, all the Lada’s I have ever seen always look a little unloved.........you’ve nailed this one....

Nice haul, be interested how the Zvezda goes together, never built any of their offerings.........WIP maybe?

Thanks Fran, I was stunned when I won the auction, I did some research on Tamiya v ZM, I think the ZM is a completely different approach to engineering and building and that’s what intrigue me.....thanks for following.....

Thanks Gaz much appreciated, the Eduard PE is very nice.....

Mike, I am sure you could, the PE from Eduard is pretty good but the Barracuda set would add more to the overall. I’ll post so pics of all the consoles etc so you can see.......I could probably get the placards here in the UK for around £10 delivered.......

Thanks John, a long way to go.....

Thanks Carl, I know what you mean, the registration of the printed PE is fantastic.......

Thanks Rob, I’ll get some pics of all the sides and IP next..........

So starting as usual with the pit........ Side consoles OOB Eduard produced PE for ZM completed side console

Thanks Ernie, I do like the way ZM try to adhere to how the real aircraft was constructed, also love their engineering........

I must admit I do look out for ZM deals, I missed a Skyraider for ridiculous money, due to other circumstances now all I do is look. Please do a WIP of the P51.......

Nice haul of AM Mike, I did this when I first returned to the hobby.... Probably similar to your Mustang, the PE and resin in these are tiny but you learn a lot...........I bought the Mustang IV first and then saw the bargain of a lifetime. So going to have the US version open and maintained and the IV buttoned up. looking forward to seeing your builds.......

John sublime as ever, did you say you use enamels predominately? I must admit my only go to enamel is Xtracolor Zinc Chromate .....

Mike, which extras did you get? I’ll be posting some pics this week as I started a couple of weeks ago.......more the merrier....

So difficult, I use the AK camo putty, tried freehand it was disastrous, congrats

No worries Carl, only an idea....

That’s fine Rob, when you do build it, you’ll love it.........

Hubert, so glad to see you back at the bench, I can see why you use your lenses now, sublime detailing as ever......

You’re right Hubert, there are very few builds of this (which I can find) .......I am blown away by the 3 canopies in the box and two props, I think in the IV boxing there are three......I have made a start so I’ll post some WIP......
