got this kit and the Revell 219 - was planning to do the Revell in flight, and ZM all opened up - I guess that would be the right call!! - Agree - not seen it build a lot (a few finished models only for Magazines and one or two on the web)... thanks for doing this - like your SR71 build, I will save as a reference....
I'm building a Zoukei-Mura HS-129 and the only issue are the many access doors...as you've found they sometimes tend not to perfectly fit. I end up sanding them down to as thin as I can get them. I do like that otherwise, their kits fit just fine and the plastic is molded sharply and thinner than most. What I'm most interested with this build is the exterior paint scheme...I'll bet that's why a lot of folks don't share their builds on-line.
For 90% of model builders the 1/32 Revel kit is more than adequate,especially for the money. I have both kits. And I bought all the up detail kits for it too. I’ve been a big fan of the He 219 since I built the 1/72 scale kit in the 60’s. The paint scheme is not easy to do.
Very nice job on the pit and instrumemt panel👍 No pilots? Looking forward to see the rest of the plane. Will become a beauty. Will you give her the smithonian paintscheme?
A guy in my model club built this and it is impressive when done.
A number of years ago at the IPMS Nationals, l had a chance to meet and talk (through an interpreter) the president of ZM. I had purchased their Skyraider and asked why they included details that would never be seen. He explained that their goal was not for the modeler to build a model...lots of companies do that. They want the builder to construct a scale down version of the plane.
NO COFFEE !!!! OH The Humanity ! If that happened to me there would be a lot of First Responders over here ! 😱🤪 Great video, Thank you for sharing , hope you have a great weekend !
This kit broke me. I finally got tired of filing mold parting seams off every part. If you ate opting to close all the open panels invest in some filler and sanding sticks. Lol. Such great oob detail though. Boy those engines. 😍 Looking good so far.
