    If 32nd its time to bust out some more cash for zacto's stuff LOL

     

    Cheers

    Fred, having seen those kits in Nuremberg a nice lady told me them being in 1/32 scale. I was surprised, because they were this huge I suspected them being 1/16 scale!

     

    But I am afraid these are no plastic model kits, but die-cast metal. If you look closely to the upper most part of this picture you see the metal parts of an unpainted example in the next show case.

    Got this one last week and I do not regret having spend the money!

     

    Azkue´s modelling is stunning, presented in full colour superb pictures. Only, the translation from Spanish to English has at least one quirk:

     transparent (canopy) parts are given as "crystals" by the translator...  :hmmm:

     

    Haha!!! Maybe I should have read the review first, as Kevin noticed this, too!

    Here is the kit versus my replacement intake/centerbody for the jumo. The brass tube extension fits to the cut-off intake section of the kit.

    Now I wonder how things will look once assembled. Steve, your replacements look great!

    ...

    I've attached a link to the gear set on Sprue Bros site and from the close up of the packaging, there is no mention of G-Factor.

    Peter, what is shown on the link you provided is NOT the full packaging sheet! Take a guess why I took mine out of the box and made a partial scan of it, showing the section of the leaflet indeed mentioning the manufacturer of those metal parts.

     

    There is no doubt these He 219 legs have been manufactured by G-Factor for Zoukei-mura, as are the PE sets manufactured for them by Eduard.

     

    I am sure that Nick, talking to ZM on the trouble with his set, will be helped.

     

    @ Nick: contact me by PM if I could assist you here. You have my number...  :coolio:

    Nick, reading your posts I went and looked at my upgrade set from Zoukei-mura. Indeed this is manufactured for them by G-Factor Models! See here on the package leaflet you should find in yours:

    My set also has the typical bronze look and feel as my Ju 88 set from Ernie G. Also the attachments of the individual parts of the LG look the same as my Ju 88 set. If requested I gladly make a picture of my set to post it here, for you to see that this is done by G-Factor, not SAC...

     

    I try to bend some parts of my upgrade set and it takes quite some force to do so, if ever. Certainly much (!) stronger and no visual match to some "Soft And Cr@pp¥ stuff" (thanks for this one, Tony!).

     

    If you possibly got a bad casting why not contact Zoukei-mura on this?
