Kev Yeah i bought the kit from BNA Model World, it was on special about a year ago, I do understand that they wont have spare sprues but there has to be a way of getting hold of one, i could be lucky because they have just started a new production batch of the kit Anyway, lets see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ray Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Oh, that is a bummer! I think ZM will step up; they seem to be pretty modeler oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghatherly Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Simply contact Volks USA. They will take care of you for getting the correct part. They are set up to deal with modelers, so I would bypass the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robthepom Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 Thanks for the advice, can you please educate me about Volks USA, are they the world wide distributor for ZM? or is ZM and Volks same company, their website is a bit confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Volks and Zoukei Mura are the same Volks is just the distributor for all the lines https://volksusastore.com/webstores/scale/ Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallagoodee Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 (edited) I have not visited LSP in a few ... um ... years ... and just went through your thread. This is such eye-candy ... man, you're doing a bee-yoo-tee-ful job on this! I know I'm gonna be perusing this thread at least a couple of more times ... keep up the great work on this! And I hope replacing the wing is a nice easy process for you. A few pages back, you asked about a 1/48 Horten ... I've got one if you're still interested. Send me a PM and I can give you some details. Pete (... a few hours later ) ... I received that 1/48 Dragon Horten from a fellow club member and I just looked at it, for the first time in months, and ... it is way-y-y incomplete. No engines, some airframe parts are missing and probably more, geez, I didn't even see the seat ... so, with apologies, I'm gonna take back the offer.

Hey thanks for watching, its a great kit for detailing if thats your kind of thing, but just out of the box is fantastic. Dont be put off by the complex assemblies, they all fall together perfectly rob 21 hours ago, D Bellis said: Volks USA probably won't be of much use to you since you're in Australia.

Robthepom Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share Posted October 28, 2018 Well I'm back on this cracker, did i mention its is stunning kit, haha I recieved a replacement sprue direct from Japan, no charge, no explaination necessary, great service I have made a decision on the finish of my Horten, i, leaving the top skin off to show the details, I have always admired cut away models So I'm just finishing to flying surfaces and a few other bits, then its done. I experimented with different oils for each panel, the flap is blue tacked in place for photo its a big kit, and when finished i'll clear the other models and display it on its own, its my best work yet Pfuf, Alain Gadbois, CATCplSlade and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzas Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm glad you're leaving it open. It looks too good to cover up. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonH Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 That looks excellent. I love the idea of only putting the lower panels on and showing the wood inside. The contrast between the wood and the framework looks superb. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
