Wurzacher Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Man, this one looks like a dream! Your build and your pictures of the finished Shinden make it even harder for me to resist hitting th "Order" button... Seeing that the panels are still removable and how good they fit to the fuselage is a tribute to your skills! Thanks for this! Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit was a dream to build, Z-M really hit it out the park with one. The parts fit is more a testament to them, not me at all. I just followed the directions, and put it together. The color scheme is where I got creative! You should order one while some stores still hsve them, I promise you won't be disappointed at all with the value, detail, or build.

Guest Peterpools Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Matt Well done; one terrific build. Love the phone with everything open up and hanging in the wind. Cammo and decal work are the cream on the pie! One sexy looking aircraft. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you like how it all came out. I hope to not mess it up with the finishing parts. They're luckily re-releasing the Shinden in August, might have to snap up another one.

LSP_Kevin Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 They're luckily re-releasing the Shinden in August, might have to snap up another one. That's great news Matt! Where did you hear it? I have a birthday in August, so perhaps I'll treat myself. (I better start saving now...) Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I better start saving now...) Kev Hey Kev. I was reading on Aeroscale about the big German Toy Fair, and they said it would be re-released, along with being shrunk down to a 1/48 kit as well. They also said the P-51 would come out in May, then followed by the 1/48 Shinden, then the A-1J, then the re-released Shinden, then the He-219 eventually. You should treat yourself, it's a great kit. And it should come through multiple importers, bringing the price down to a more manageable level. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Update 2/26/12: She's all done! Well guys, I just put the finishing touches on the Shinden, so I can officially call her done. I got the antennae mounted, and the inner gear doors, and it was all finished up. I know I have to add an antennae wire, but that's not a necessity for me. I do need to add a wash onto the inner gear doors, but I can do that any time really. i'm just happy to have this one done. In a nutshell, this was an amazing kit. Really great detail, and a dream to put together. And because it never went into service, you can really do anything you want with the scheme. The way they designed the kit, it really falls together, and is so strong, I never have to worry about anything breaking or cracking. And for a tricycle gear plane, with the crazy lean, it actually doesn't need any nose-weight, I just put it in because I'm neurotic like that. Here are the photos, I'll split them into a couple of updates. Enjoy everyone. It looks crazy, but the exhaust is asymmetrical is just like that. I was thrown a bit the first time I saw it, but it lines up perfectly with the pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Part 2: And of course, all opened up: I really hope that you've all enjoyed this build. It's been tons of fun, and I thank you all for watching and reading along with me. All of your comments and good words have really been an inspiration and helped me through this one. It's been a great experience, and if anyone will be at the Silicon Valley Kick-Off March 24, you'll see it there in person. :thumbsup: Next build will be a HobbyBoss F-84E in Greek markings, I'll post pictures of that as I go, but it will be a very quick build. Thanks again everyone. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, well , well Matt. She looks gorgeous ! You did good my friend . So, will I see this one next month ? So, did you finish the inner doors yet ? Because in the pics, they look "raw", no paint or weathering. But the rest is excellent.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I haven't finished the inner gear doors yet, they still need a little wash and weathering. Yes, you will see this next month, along with the Hawk, F-80, possibly the F-84, and a couple of 1/48 projects I've got done. And maybe the Hunter if I find the motivation to just finish the thing up. Thanks for the great comments, I'm happy to be done with this one, I'm very satisfied with how it all came out.
