Have you built a Zoukei-Mura before, Toshi?

I looked at their display at the nats show in Columbus, was it last summer? I want to build something of theirs one day. I had a DO-335 in my hands, for some reason I put it back.

So, what's your plan? Will it be clear? I didn't know skin off is an option, that might be pretty neat too.

Anyway, looking forward to watching this one.

This is going to be awesome Toshi! I picked up their 1/48th Shinden as a Christmas present for myself a few years ago and it's an incredible kit.

Toshi,

This looks like a fantastic kit! I've been thinking of add this one to the stash. I'm looking forward to this build!

To my fellow forum members,

Here is my next project.  I'm not going to start building this kit until I've completed the GWH Black Widow.  I'm just really excited about posting the HO 229.  It arrived yesterday via USPS.

I recall a special on TV about Lockheed Skunk Works, building a full size replica of the HO 229.  They not only completed the 229, Skunk Works also had it tested for the ability to deflect radar.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The replica was built by your heroes at Northrop.

Now this should be fun to watch, good choice Toshi. I would love to get one of these in 32nd, but am not keen on the idea of the ZM kits. Bit i will look forward to watching yours.

I'm looking forward to this one as well there Toshi. If you can get your hands on any references it would greatly reward a build like this. The ZM 229 Concept note reference is a good place to start.

O indeed, everything i have heard about this kits is that they are really nice. I just like to build a kit with the skin on and painted up and am not to keen on spending so much money when i know i won't use a lot of it. I still live in hope that Revell will produce one, no harm in dreaming.

My son built this 229 and loved it. I would too if it didnt take up so much shelf space.

Well, my boy gave me his ROG 1/72 version kit after he built the good one so some winter I'll see if its worth some effort.

      Greg:

Have you built a Zoukei-Mura before, Toshi?

Toshi:

No, I've never built anything from Zokei Mura. 

Well, then it is truly with bated breath that I wait to watch.

It seems I shall experience my first Zokei Mura vicariously.

Ladies and gentlemen of FSM Forum, here is the first step of this build.  The assembly of the Juno jet engines.  ZM provides an engine display stand, I just might use it.

Here is half of the Juno Engine.

Nice work, Toshi. If you haven't, take a look at the actual aircraft on the Smithsonian site.

Just FYI, the engine name is "Jumo".

 You might be interested in another glider based design, Lippisch's Me-163 Komet. And the Douglas F4D Skyray.

Watching with interest.
