williamj Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) They look very interesting and expensive,certainly don't look like a ZM offering. Hoping someone here has a little more info on them..who's the manufacturer? etc. Edited February 4, 2013 by williamj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul fisher Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Looks like more of the Hachette Publishing stuff...like the giant Lancaster they sold by subscription. If these were done by the fellows I think, they will be spectacular , but verrrrrry spendy. Certainly fun to look at. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamj Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Well the Mustang certainly caught my eye..the prop blades alone are remarkable. But if they're all stainless?? or plated brass ? how to keep them together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williamj Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) William Found this: http://imcth.co.jp/english/ D.B. Big thanks for the link D.B...GREAT VIDEO!!especially the last one showing the Zero parts and assembly.and that it's all metal(engine and cowl) ,no plastic at all..except the rubber tires and canopy. The P-51 spinner and blades are metal as well..pre orders for the Mustang middle of this month..I just might jump on the Mustang.

williamj Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi Preditor...High praise indeed...So a couple questions for you if you don't mind,what are you to using to hold it together?and does it come with the "Skin"?, also..whats in the cockpit? is there enough in there. Looks very tempting. And if you get a chance post some pics,love to see what you're doing with the Zero. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preditor Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hi William if you look on my space go onto the forum scroll down to official zero build you can see as we are building in progress. The model is all metal polished you can build covered or uncovered. The cockpit is awesome with lights . I am using a small amount of super glue in parts but the frame screws together, i cant praise this kit enough even though you do not get a magazine you have to download the instructions, and dont forget it is 1/16 scale and massive, also comes with stand, i will try to put on some pics soon all the best roy.

Ichidono Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 That is incredible, so you get the parts monthly by mail by Subscription? That is a really great way to get an expensive model. Also not to change the subject does anybody know who makes the J2M3 Raiden in the ipms photo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little confused at the moment..you say 1/16 scale but the Zero and Mustang on their site and Nuremberg are 1/32 ?? This is their site.http://imcth.co.jp/english/ .the model comes complete in the box.think were on two different things.
