Looks like a solution looking for a problem to me. Nice work though….

The engine build up continuing.


It looks as if a fair bit of filling and sanding will be needed around the engine panels.

[BarryW]

Panels fitted to the engines. There was some tricky work cutting out a section for the exhaust pipes but apart from that was straight forward enough. There is some filling and sanding though.

The engineering is a bit over complicated, needlessly so.

Considering you've (from what i can remember) built ZM kits, i find this comment quite funny lol. They are always over engineered, needlessly so.

But Alan, what you describe as over engineering of Zoukei Mura kits is to provide high levels of detail and great fit while offering you options. This kit is over engineered to no purpose, normal detail, normal fit and no options.

I am ready to spray the first black primer coat. I do expect it to show up a few flaws that will need treatment.

The pit was easy to mask off. I fixed the canopies temporarily with Micro Liquid Tape which, when the painting is done, enables them to be easily removed for the fitting of the guns.


The canopies are a perfect fit


The wheel wells were masked in the normal way using blue paper and tape.



I have sprayed some degreaser which I will leave to dry before painting.

Coming on nicely.

Coming on very nicely Barry.

Thanks for the tip on the temporary attachment of the canopy. I've recently acquired some German night fighters and was wondering how to approach the issue of the cockpit guns.

All the best.
