It looks like a very nice kit, and substantially more affordable than the ZM offering. I paid £40 for the ZM 1/72 + 1/144 combo kit at their SMW stand last year. To be honest, I didn't think that was extortionate; tortionate perhaps, but there are other aircraft kits that are really silly money (and I'm not pointing the finger at hasegawa or Kinetic). As you say, progress on the revell kit looks excellent. I have a PM Go 229 to practise on before I tackle the ZM offering. Errr ..... did I hear laughter in the back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I saw that on several sites like Scalemates and modellversium here, But the outline seems to be a downscaled version of the 1:48 one by Dragon. In fact the 1:72 was produced in Korea in 1994 by Revell and I'm not sure in what dimensions they cooperated with the old asian producers then. I really can't tell you.

For me this model definitely comes from Dragon 1/48. The outer lines of the panels on the engine fairings at the top you see the outer lines of the panels. Dragon in 1/48 have removable engine fairings, through which engines and guns are visible when they are open. Revell simplified this point because if they did removable engine fairings, they would have to make engines on a 72nd scale! For some reason, they didn't want to do it. Therefore, in the cockpit of Revell 1/72 we see holes from the side, in the place where the Dragon 1/48 engines are, photoetched Eduard fixes the situation, but it costs extra money! In addition, Revell has a strange nose that does not resemble a survivor aircraft in a museum, in this case the ZM is more accurate. B.w. Go-229 in this topic it's second edition Revell, first edition was biggest size box and other boxart & painting version. B.R. Serge 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spadgent Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks like this one is in line for some time being spent. Paint in the office is next. First the nose section got primed. And just before dinner and a dog walk I smoothed the mud guard and primed that too. Next stop interior grey. 🤗 More soon. Thanks for all the comments. Take care and s as always Happy Modelling.

Thom216 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Good looking build! I got the ZM 1/48 kit at a model show a few years ago for $75. It was a steel! But, I had no interest in building all the interior details, so I sold it and it more than covered the cost of a 1/48 Dragon kit.😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an Uchronic kit why not painting in Bat man mode, It'll look great beside the Batcopter After all, the Horten has already the right shape... Did you RFI'ed the Sea Venom ?

The Spadgent Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Good evening you lot. It’s been another busy week at work. Hence the lack of updates but I have a few days off so fingers crossed for some plastic fantastic. 🤩 A bit of paint was laid down this morning. I have to do the internals before I can button her up so. “Black” And inside the office. aaaand the under crackers. The guns got a blast. as did the jets. This will be a kind of pre shade base for the RLM grey. the UC internals. And the underside of the office. The main tub. base seat colour. I need to add belts and other colours. This little fella that sits behind the IP. And the IP that I just didn’t take a pic of. 🤪🤨 Also while I had the colour in the pit I did the wheel wells. That all got a blast of gloss ready for some weathering. 🤩⛈ Thats it for the Horton but for @corsaircorp I have found a cheap one of these at long last. I’ll be modelling Christened while she was for sale In Mr Le-bay’s front yard. To this end I ordered this. A special mention to @CedB (I know how much he loves hood tools). There is one made by RP-Toolz which I’m sure is great but so expensive. £20 for one type of leaf at one scale. I found this on Etsy and I must say I’m super impressed. they do have lots of different types but this mixed one seemed good for what I needed and at a tenner great value. I didn’t Use dried leaves yet but on a post it I was super impressed. 🤩🤩🤩🍁🍂 Can’t wait for some run down Fury action. ❤️ Thanks for dropping by. Happy modelling. Johnny. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
