Bricol Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 The Zero was my first "fine structure" kit by imcth of Tokyo. These are extraordinary kits, with the aircraft structure in photo-etched stainless steel and engine, undercarriage, weapons, etc in cast white metal. They are VERY different, present interesting challenges and build into superb works of art. I wrote a blog of my build on Tumblr. You can see it here: I am now building imtch's P-51 Mustang and blogging the build here: Blog links removed 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 That is indeed a work of art. I would have assumed an advanced mechanical engineering degree would be helpful here - and the patience of Job, for the 'obsessively fiddly' bits. Enjoyed seeing that, thank you. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I think a Phd in patience would be a must too! Very impressive work -you need to include a couple of photos of the finished model in your post to encourage peope to look at your full article.

Billydick Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Wow - thats is different indeed ! ! If I'm not mistaken, I think Eduard did something similar with a Fokker Dr1... though not as as intricate as this. Excellent job ! BillyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radpoe Spitfire Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 That is not a model, it's a master model builder's demonstration that they have taken kit building to the highest level....... Then beyond some. Congratulations on reaching that pinicle many would be happy just to get part way there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful masterpiece.
