The Z-M showed up today!!! I am officially in!  Man what a cool experience this is going to be! Now that I have my hands on the real deal, the instruction manual is like nothing I have ever seen before. Haven't even started fondling the sprues yet, but that'll come later tonight. January can't get here fast enough.   |

It was a great platform to go crazy with detail along with the already amazing detail of the kit. It won't be the last build I do from them.   |

Was that a real-world example of a mothballed Ho-229 that you modeled it after? Hopefully getting a Z-M A-1J for Christmas too, so this is gonna be a good year for modeling. |

January can't get here fast enough. This is gonna be just great to watch come together. There just HAS to be a ton of stuff in that box!! Yup! All KINDS of cool stuff in the box, Joe. The length and width are a little larger than the average 1/32 Tamiya WWII aircraft box, but it is MUCH deeper, and loaded with cool stuff. They even give you several different options for how to build the instrument panel, along with a sufficient number of parts and decals to let you try each method and see which one you like best. I don't think any aftermarket mods are even going to be needed on this one. I may get the metal gear struts and weighted tires for it later, but right now I'm pretty happy with how it all looks. |

Outside of their own update sets for it, you really shouldn't need any AM stuff. But then again......it is a ZM kit.  |

Joe, Eagle, Kyle thanks for the kind words!
Eagle the build was a combo of reality using pictures from the Ho-229 at the Smithsonian and artistic freedom.
Keith I am stoked to see your D-9 and A-7 come together with what you have planned here! I see both of us are opening a bird up so this should be excellent

Hell yeah! 100% no brainer, I'm in!! Think I have about a dozen or so kits to choose from, so I'll have to let you know. I have to finish the A8 that I am stuck on right now and will have to get it done by the spring, so that is going to be a challenge for me. Think that it will be a D-9 in 1/48th but more to follow.

Need to build 80 kits per year until I'm 100 to deplete my stash. Maybe I should sell a couple.

I've been slacking with the updates. And there's a lot to update! Current list below. I decided what I'm going to do as well, at least to start...the 1/72 Eduard F-8 kit (which looks fantastic) followed by a 1/32 Hasegawa A-5. We'll see how long those take me. I'd like to do a 1/48 something after that - probably the Hobby Boss V18. If I get super nuts, there could be a 1/24 Trumpeter offering to wrap things up.  406 Silverado – 1/48 Dragon Ta-152C-0 Jeaton01 – 1/48 Classic Airframes 190V-1 Chromedome35 – 1/48 Tamiya 190D-9 Stikpusher – TBD Dupes – 1/72 Eduard 190F-8 and 1/32 Hasegawa 190A-5 Handiabled – 1/32 Hasegawa 190D-9 Adt70hk – 1/72 Airfix 190A-8 and 190F-8 Mrt51 – 1/72 Tamiya 190A-3 Deafpanzer – 1/48 Eduard 190A-8 Deafstug – 1/48 Eduard 190A-9 Tojo72 – 1/48 Hasegawa 190A-4 Keavdog – 1/48 Tamiya 190A-3 Kyledehart5 – 1/48 Hasegawa 190A-4 Thechaos – 1/48 Fujimi 190D-9 OR Hobby Boss 190D-9 Eaglecash867 – 1/32 ZM 190A-4 TJ – 1/48 Hasegawa 190A-4 M1Carbine – 1/48 ZM Ta-152H-1 Rod the Fixer - 1/48 Tamiya 190D-9 Mrversatile - 1/48 Eduard 190A-8 TerrorzScale - 1/48 Eduard 190D-9 Tcoat - TBD Joe Rix - 1/72 DML Ta-152H-1 Modelcrazy - 1/48 Eduard 190A-8/R2 Disc0stu - 1/48 Eduard 190A-8 Terrorzscale - 1/48 Eduard 190A-7 Hasenpfeffer - TBD Thug626 - TBD Dean48ws - 1/48 Eduard 190A-2 Blkhwkmatt - TBD Ogrejohn – maybe?

Hey guys, I thought that I had no Fw-190s in the stash, but it turns out I do - a 1/32 Hasegawa Fw-190D. I’d like to join in on the Butcher Bird party if I may.
Markings will be cliche JV-44, with the red undersides with white stripes. Some schemes are too cool to pass up regardless of how overdone they are. If I ever build a navy Skyraider it would have to be the one with the stinging bee and giant thunderbolt.
My Dora-9 will be a simple build with as little aftermarket or corrections possible. It will be a fun build to try to get back into airplanes. But you know how these things go. First it’s just brake lines and radio antenna, then it’s a resin prop & spinner, a corrected forward wheel well, some brass machine gun barrels, then 3-D printed cockpit stuff, and on and on. I gotta stop this kind of mission creep.
As an aside, I first saw the Fw-190 described as the “butcher bird” in Revell’s 1974 catalog. My dad who was a WW II buff explained the connection to the tiny Shrike and its habit of impaling its victims on thorns or branches.

We're all just kids putting plastic together When I was small, I built Monogram’s 1/48 Fw-190A with as many weapons as possible - I think I used the underwing dual gun packs and a centerline bomb rack. It was 100% inaccurate, but I loved it and didn’t care one bit. |
