CRAZY IVAN5 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Well, I'm a little puzzled[ not that usual these days for me] Z-M released a G-14 U4, now they're releasing another G-14!? This one looks like an Erla build 109 which is fine but they're pushing the MK108 which is wrong. WNF builds were the only G-14s with the 30mm , and WNF did not install the taller vert. fins so which is it , the first U-4 was a WNF . Besides that ,the FW-190 is very appealing.A baqsic build would be fine with me as long as it has an engine.

The new Bf 109 G-14 kit is almost 50% more expensive than the Hartmann kit (13200 vs 9000 yen). Glad I ordered 3 Hartmann kits D.B. Andrus 1

Glad I ordered 3 Hartmann kits Yeah, I'm not understanding that one got mine for ~$90 U.S. a couple of months ago. If I get another ,it'll be done as a G-6 IF
Juggernut Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Having just finished a Revell Erla Bf109G-10, the only other version I'd care to see from ZM is an MTT-Regensburg or DIana G-10 or the K-4. Otherwise I'll keep my money having already purchased a Hartmann G-14. rafju and Rick Griewski 2
Rick Griewski Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Reading the blog reminded me that I do not have an Owl kit. I must work at that Edited January 13, 2023 by Rick Griewski

A G-10 and a K is what I'd like to see too! i can build a G-6 out of this kit so those [G-10and K] would be my pick Daywalker and rafju 2
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 Upon closer examination, the 190 does NOT appear to be one of their "basic" line, it seems as though it has all the "guts" that we've come to expect from Z-M, aww well, I'll get one anyway. I might get the G-14 and turn it into a G-6 Kanon Boot

You can build any G-14 or G-6 from the Hartmann kit with included parts which makes me wonder about the price increase. Jay rafju, CRAZY IVAN5 and Gazzas 3

Jay Right? I built mine[ in primer and paint mode] as an Erla build with 20 mm motor canon so yeah, I don't get it either

CRAZY IVAN5 Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 The reason I believe that is that I've haven't seen or heard anything about their "basic" line in quite some time
