  1. Just want to add a full translation of the sentence given in this German document. It reads: "Evolution and trial of a camouflage for use in the Mediterranean: (Evolution) finished and documented in S-Report dated November, 10th, 1943. Shade of colour 83 dark blue in connection with colour 72 black green for sea planes and colour 70 dark green for land based planes suggested for introduction." I think it could be important to see that the introduction was suggested, not confirmed here. There might be single aircraft having been painted in dark blue, but maybe only for testing this colour? The Allies did thousands of pictures of German equipment, I would be surprised they all missed a squadron of sea blue German aircraft. To me, without any offence to any opinion posted here, it still has been a trial, but no introduction. HTH
  2. Welcome to the dark side, John! The Merkava has it´s own special "flair". Taking a seat and watching.
  3. Better than my first dozen Panzer kits! Like!!
  4. Superb news, John! Wonder on which place my pre-order is? Going to spend some money soon, me thinks!
  5. Taking a guess that the factory cast parts might be the grey ones? John, are the resin propeller blades direct copies of the Revell Ju 88A-1 ones?
  6. Hi John! I wonder how good your German is? What exactly is written in those circles?
  7. John, any pictures so far of the propeller blades? Maybe of the full propeller attached to the engines? Any update on the release date?
  8. You might check the orientation of the engines in the frame here...
  9. No worries from my side, John. As long as the production pieces will meet the quality you are after I gladly will wait.
  10. No. To be exactly it´s an illustration. I also did not mention having a photo in the opening post. If it would have had a photo of this new version be assured I would have posted it. Sometimes I simply don´t get it...
  11. Rog, according to the diagram on Fw 190 radials ZM had been shown on several occasions during shows the first version should be a Fw 190A-3, the first kit of all to appear in their new SWS Basic Series. This new Basic series will be more like the "normal" plastic kits most manufacturers do these days, with reduced parts and detail in comparison to ZM´s SWS Standard Series. I have the file of this diagram of Fw 190 radial kits here with me. Will ask in Japan if I am allowed to place a link to it.
  12. So far, having got the file this morning, all I do know is what is written on the picture: it is a re-design of the previous SWS #02 kit. Given ZM´s dedication and attention for specific details I would be very surprised only to see the exactly same sprues in this new issue. This will not only be a simple re-box of the existing kit as far as I would go today. The specific differences will get ZM´s attention, but which and in how far, nobody knows as today.
  13. As many here will know the Ta 152H-0 was a series of about 20 pre-production aircraft build. The later series was re-designated Ta 152H-1 and differed by having additional six fuel tanks in the wings. This should be the only and most obvious difference between H-0 and H-1.
  14. Rog, IIRC Bill had posted a picture of the 1/48 scale Ta 152H-1 as it is shown from ZM on shows as the Nuremberg Toy Fair. So indeed it is the same type of aircraft, albeit different sub-type and scale. The original Ta 152H-1 release is indeed sold out, as it is mentioned on ZM´s website. The kit itself still is available as the Manga, or SP series in a different box comprising all the plastic parts as the original SWS release #02. Nonetheless this original SWS #02 release is gone.
  15. Peter, there is only one picture so far as I have posted it above in the opening post.
  16. This morning SPAModeler got new advertisement files to publish from our Japanese friends in Kyoto. On this advertisements Zoukei-mura first shows the announcement of SWS #11: the 1/32 scale Ta 152H-0! Shown here is an extract from these files. I thought why not share it here with our friends on LSP? It is a re-design of their long sold-out SWS #02 kit, the Ta 152H-1. More news as soon as we get it!
  17. There is nothing to "open" on this website. The German text just gives a very general overview of the museum, it´s history and exhibits. :-(
  18. Welcome to LSP! What a good looking Raiden! Good job, like it!
  19. I wonder how you levelled out those plastic shims without damaging the rivets and the surface beneath? Or did I miss this info in a previous post? The best build of the Do I have seen so far, btw.!
