HO 229 Mysytery Ship build

[harv]

Let's get this bad boy started ! Since the build sequence is important I will be following the distractions more or less than normal. Several surprises will be shown later on in the build so stay tuned........ harv

Keep paint of the cement point on the framework, Harv - you'll be glad you did. Also, the nose wheel is a PITA to install when they tell you to do it. See if you can't put it in earlier in the build sequence.

Watching this one with interest harv 

[harv]

Thanks for the heads up buddy ! Plastic has been cut !.....harv

 

[JeroenPeters]

Lovely kit!! Looking forward to see what you do with it!

[harv]

Thank you my friend !.....harv

[harv]

I'm finding that ZM has very fine and delicate parts. So, this seems to help. Carl knows what I'm talking about !..... harv

 

 

[harv]

Start on one of the engines. This one is a test to find out  what parts I can leave out..... harv

Great choice for additional help there Harv! Looking forward to following along.

C'mon Harv, you've assembled a few compressor blades and you're already tryin' t' figure out what parts you can leave out! You're not supposed to leave any of 'me out. That's why ZM gives 'em all to ya!

.........and stay away from that distilled amber pickle sauce! This kit 'll be challenging enough all on it's own without the addition of the two seat conversion bits and the mind altering effects of the Devil's hooch. Remember, you've got less than a year if you want it ready for Chattanooga.

Just remember, I'm pullin' for ya but you've got t' keep your stick on the ice! 

Cheers, Wolf

Since there is no photo etch involved you gonna etch a little on the inside , just joking, love the stuff too, but prefer a good old Elijah Craig. Anyway the stuff keeps you from trembling while you master the fine and delicate ZM ingredients .

Cheers Rob

[harv]

Thanks all. And a special thanks to Wolf ! Glad you have an eye on me buddy !.........harv

[BlrwestSiR]

Hey Harv, if you need any reference material, just ask. I've got a couple books on the Ho229 including the ZM concept notes.

Carl

[harv]

Thanks buddy. Since this is a what if, not sure it will help.Is there anything on the 2 seater ?  Do you have the kit ?......harv

[Martinnfb]

Harvey, what is the final word in terms of the look of this beauty?  I know it s "what-if" build, but do you have some kind of scenario in mind/ For instance " Hortens are flying recon. missions from newly build bases on the north pool. Santa is still missing"

Cheers
