Totalize Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Get em both! I'm looking to pick up another Mustang...this time all buttoned up The upcoming FW-190 series is interesting, I guess now you can buy the whole hog ZM kit or a detuned version with just the essentials. Thanks for watching! Ryan Well, I just might have to do that. I have the Tamiya F4U-1A Corsair on pre-order and I have the Tamiya P51D as well not started yet though. I just got back from a great vacation in Arizona (visited Tombstone, Pima Air and Space Museum, Aircraft Boneyard) and Las Vegas so kind of not motivated as yet to get back on the bench. Just watching you guys do some nice builds at the moment. Dave. Edited September 16, 2014 by Totalize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Mal, I'm guessing the ZM 190's are a ways out for production...hope I'm wrong. At least they will have an engine! Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Ryan I'm hoping the same but I heard it's a ways off. Just look how long it's taken for the Horten to reach production from when the kit was announced. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Oh well...doesnt matter anyway....more for mw to fiddle with lol resin engine with crisp casting and nice details in the future... But now over to this build. /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look how long it's taken for the Horten to reach production from when the kit was announced. Peter Agreed, but the 229 is a bit obscure(ish) and the 190's are more popular subjects with a wealth of info readily available...hopefully they can turn them around faster so we can get them on our shelves collecting dust!

Ryan Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Small update got the Tail Wheel assembled....and in primer to help me clean the mold seam lines. Gear was in silver plastic and wheel was in black plastic, looks good in the box...but cleaning seams in silver plastic is hard. A coat of primer brings clarity to the situation. Casting is nice, the roughness of the surface is the primer just shot seconds before this pic settling down. image by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr I've decided to concentrate on the Tail Wheel area at this point instead of jumping around as I have been.

Mal_Belford Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ryan. it looks really nice in detailing...and you are right about the primer on silver plastic casting...ive peesonally never liked it... But this is a great tip how to tackle them seam lines...taken notes in my mind and will not forget this usefull tip /Mal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ryan ZM tail wheel assembly is looking mighty good and the more I think about they might have just done a wee bit better job then Tamiya on this assembly Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ryan I'm hoping also the 190 series hits the shelves sooner then later, as I'm looking forward to building my first few Aircraft of the Third Reich with the ZM kit.

Ryan Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Yes me too, I have never in 30 years finished a FW-190! Sad I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ryan Not only haven't I built a 190, I haven't built a 109 either! Pretty hard to believe but it's true and this coming year, I'm going to rectify that. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
