Martinnfb Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It is surprising that ZM didn't release this set in plastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 After seeing your pics, I took my set out. I'm not sure if it's any better. Sorta looks ok from here: But from the other sides... This could be quite the challenge. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I hate to say it, but it seems like a given status quo in terms of the standard and molding quality of ZM resin . Time to be creative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 One done. The second will be quick now I know what parts I don't need. Not much will be seen....harv 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Ok, I’m really confused now, is the 229 a resin kit, I thought, probably naively it was IM...........I bought the ZM F4J and that’s IM...........am I going mad.......... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 no buddy. The 229 is a IM kit, infact the skin is clear. But the conversion set is resin.......harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 You should use a monochrome background while working at the frame . When I see this, mine will go further down the shelf. Having my experiences with the not so easy to build TA-152, I recommend test fitting a lot. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks guys ! Rob, I have to admit, the fit has been really good so far. I did have to alter the gluing sequence a bit to align some parts correctly. More work later today......harv 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
