This is the direct link to the messenger: Messenger You can write to them and let them know what you think. HTH Radu Thanks Radu for your assistance. I send a message letting the good folks at ZM to stop making kits solely with that clear plastic outer skin. I also linked them to this website and in particular to this thread so they could see just how overwhelming the negative sentiment to this stuff really is. As I looked a little closer at the test shots of the Ki-45, I noticed that the clear canopy parts are shot in grey, too, but it is a shade of grey that is different (and slightly darker) from the rest of the parts that were shot. Maybe this means that this kit will not be sold with a clear outer skin after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 If one of the old man blogs in March or April it was mentioned that the Horton ho-229 and 32nd scale was running short on Supply and would be soon sold out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that Martin ? Does it not shrink ? Folks have been mixing sprue chunks with liquid cement for many years to use as a filler but it shrinks a little as I recall. (did it myself maaany years ago) Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Volks Osaka and Tokyo(Akihabara) this week and its been gone for a while. Picked up a couple of the two seater conversions maybe that might selling so quick will inspire them to bang it out again soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringleheim Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Translated by Google translator: Sorry to keep you waiting! Development of 1/72 and 1/144 Hortens as promised is entering the final stage! The amazing kit that I showed in 32, 48 kits is a handy size as a reasonable size, and as a comparator in a scale difference, I start off at hand. The launch is scheduled to be released in November this year at the UK IPMS Telford Konanimura booth! Please look forward to it !! (Price is undecided) (It also mentions that next time we will get updates on 1/32 FW-190 development and 1/32 HS-129 development). I'm eager to see both of those.

Ryan Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I really like how the kit designer created (2) different wiring patterns on the engine firewalls, Instead of just copying one side. The seat fabric is nice too. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
