seiran01 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Major progress tonight - 2nd engine completed and installed, top fuselage frame added, and right wing permanently attached. Thanks for the compliments and encouragement so far, everyone, especially considering the "helpful" jerk from the club meeting yesterday Several notes here: 1 - This kit is now, without a doubt, my favourite build of all time, even in the unfinished state! I don't think model design will outdo this for many years to come (and yes, I'm taking recent Tamiya 32nd kits into consideration as I say that) 2 - The top fuse frame attaches in MANY places including cross braces, wing spars, and to the engines themselves. TAKE YOUR TIME when adding this, and carefully glue as you go, not all at once. This assembly was the most difficult part of the build so far, but the end result is stunning and well worth the effort. 3 - each wing is held on by the four "bolts" just like the real plane. These are molded on the clear sprue and I was concerned how brittle they may be. They are, luckily, very strong and fit very tightly. No glue was used and there's no danger whatsoever of the things coming out. On to the cockpit build now! mywifehatesmodels, Wurzacher, pg265 and 10 others 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) That looks amazing Mike. I would love to be able to build as quickly as you are but alas with two young 'uns, I can only wish.Keep up the great progress and glad to hear the critic isn't getting you down.Carl Edit: talk about typos from the spell correct on my phone. Sheesh. Edited October 4, 2014 by BloorwestSiR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 My ADD would never allow me to attempt to build this kit- The complexity is staggering, but you are making it happen. Fantastic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sorry if I missed any mention of it, but how are the instructions? This seems like a lot to line up and get right and I know that instructions can make/break it in that regard, so I am curious. Truly amazing work, Mike. Keep it up!

seiran01 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks guys. The instructions take 3 whole pages to show the top frame piece being added from multiple angles, zoomed-in diagrams, and photographs. Zoukei Mura appears to have put a lot of effort into uncomplicating the complicated assembly as much as possible, and it's most welcome on this build.
