Pepper-Mint Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Hi Gents, Started this wonderful war-bird and great kit, 99% OOB. I hope you will enjoy the -from time to time- posted sneak pictures. Goodies : RB Productions seat-belts. Fittings are great after removing flash. Wings are just wow ; ZM made it all easy for the scratch-build interior details masters... Thanks for checking in ! Cheers Laurent. 9
Wingco57 Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Very nice, building two very detailed kits at the same time too. Cees 1

Iceman Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Nice!....will be following this one, looking forward to building this kit myself. 1
Pepper-Mint Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Hello, Thanks a lot gents ! Cheers, Laurent.
Pepper-Mint Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Hello, Slowly but surely... sneak peek... Best, Laurent 3
wackyracer Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Luv it. Think I may pick one of these up at Telford. 1
Pepper-Mint Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Lovin' it. You mention "flash" so I'll ask: are the pieces covered with (what I'd call) "micro flash?" The He 219 was like this...nearly every piece had small bits of flash along them...presumably from where the molds join. Hi Jim, That's correct. Microflash it is. It is a beautiful kit, details are cool, improved engineering for a reliable build though with minor issues. the major -minor issue is the unequal plastic thikness between symmetrical pieces (wings and other bits...). Grab one That engine looks Fantatic! Thanks a lot Dave Luv it. Think I may pick one of these up at Telford. Definitely ! A nice challenge. grab one too. Cheers guys, Laurent.
Members Mikester Posted November 18, 2015 Members Posted November 18, 2015 Just superb. that engine is just a work of art! 1
One-Oh-Four Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 O, wow!... Love the wear on cockpit and engine section! That inspires me for my Do 335B-2. Let's hope I can get a bit near your standards..... 1
Pepper-Mint Posted March 23, 2016 Author Posted March 23, 2016 Hi gents, Thanks for the nice comments ! Update on this kit : Decided finally to cover the engine, base Aluminium done. Propeller should be in wood, but went free-ride for a metal version. Moving forward to the scheme paint. Cheers, Laurent. 2
Dennis.E Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I have not personally built anything from ZM (yet)...do the engine cowlings come off for display of that beautiful engine block you have obviously spent a great deal of time and effort working on Laurent? You can almost see the heat plumes radiating off that engine - that is truly great work, and a great peice of observation. To my mind (only my opinion) it would be sad to loose that contest compatible engine block... 1
