Out2gtcha Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hello everyone, the next will be the test-build He 219 there (announced to be ready for Friday). I keep you informed. Cheers, Andreas88 \ Good news on that front. I am currently building the ZM SPAD, and it truely is a gem of a kit, going together very well. However not really in any way, being an open panel / wings folded / cutout detail kind of guy, and considering that Revell is usually right on with shape and accuracy (not to mention the price points on both Ive seen so far) all lead me to belive Ill be investing in the ROG Owl and not the ZM version. Absolutely nothing against ZM, as I have one of their kits, and its one of the best engineered kits Ive built..............its just for the proposed price points (and the fact that I like hte -7 a bit better than the -0 ) I just think for me, the ROG 219 is going to be the way to go. Ill only ever be building one of these monsters........ Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its shape looks really great, and Im looking forward to comparing both the ZM and Revell offerings. I do hope the production model has a bit more detail added Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alburymodeler Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Looks very nice. I will certainly obtain both the Revell and the ZM kits, but wont bother when Tamiygawa brings one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww2wings Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Very nice!!! Only problem I see is where to Roost this Owl when its completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 It may be that this a/c had them built this way but it looks to me like the oleos are hyper-extended on all 3 landing gear. This mistake has been made on a lot of other kits in all scales when the kit maker uses tech drawings that show the struts in full extension. Is this what has happened here again? It has been almost a decade since I researched this a/c while making my resin detail set so my memory is fuzzy but can you see why I am concerned? Otherwise,it looks fantastic and I can't wait to see the first guys' results with a nice wavey,stripey cammo job. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I believe you are correct, Jerry. I hope when the kit is released, they will compact them ( a lot).Looks to be a good kit, though.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oleo on the front leg doesn't look at full stretch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) That looks a lot better. But to me anyway, they should be a smidgen more compressed, at least the nose gear. But I admit I haven't seen pics of them on the ground.....Harv Edited June 9, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I think it looks pretty good. Edited June 9, 2012 by MikeMaben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRutman Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I like the look of the ZM kit better. The problem seems to be a/c load out. When those pix were taken I assume this was an unloaded a/c without much fuel,ammo and of course,the crew and so the balance may be off. This is just conjecture on my part but I think at least logical? J JamesHatch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
