Thanks guys. Dodgy, there is no rushing involved in the making of this kit,lol! I think there is actually a post in here from me saying I wanted to build this quicker then my other projects. Anyway, updates... ![](https://i.postimg.cc/rytt5sKf/20240621-120721.jpg) If you've seen my Riesen Panzer thread, you know I knocked the landing gears off a couple of days ago. I cleaned the ends and added a pin... ![](https://i.postimg.cc/BbXWPRqz/20240621-120744.jpg) And, because I was having a bad day, I figured I'd go ahead and drill through the top.of the wing making the hole for the pin inside the bay. I've already fixed it, I just have to paint the repair. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/2yQzSP2f/20240621-120624.jpg) I had to fix this crack in the canopy. I took the part off a while ago to reset it. When I placed it back on I put to much pressure on it and it cracked. Not a huge deal. It's just that small part and didn't go in to the clear areas. ![](https://i.postimg.cc/SKP1tdc0/20240621-120635.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/3xKqyd3q/20240621-120658.jpg) Also getting to the small parts. I will be brush painting all of these. There will be more updates in a few hours. I'm motivated to get this done, I see the light at the end of the tunnel and there's not much left. Also my next aircraft project is here and I don't want to have to planes going at the same time

I also do know I need to paint those 2 areas under the nose to match the cowl color. I've just been waiting until I got to the paint onbthe cowl flaps.

Oh no! What happened? Some parts worth saving there for sure.

I was trying to get the landing gear to line up, I noticed one was long then the other so I tried to push it in and see if I needed to clean out the area. The landing gear snapped, I wasn't holding it tightly and...
Crash
This thing was cursed from the beginning! I'm honestly glad it's done. There are parts I can salvage, the cockpit looks pretty unscathed. The engine is fine.
On to the next one....

That sucks. You really put a lot of time and effort into this one.

Man...This was just brutal for you. Really sorry that this happened and I hope the next Zero doesn't fight you like this one.

![qdvkNR](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/7440/qdvkNR.gif) !! OMG!!! Man I am so sorry mz!! You've definitely had your hands full with this build from the "get go" and now this....... ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/7478/UGHHNI.gif) I'm looking forward to seeing your recovery efforts with the salvageable parts in a new airframe brother. Your efforts have been nothing short of stellar since you started it.

Sometimes a build just needs a flight across the room to cure all problems
