The big Zoukei Mura 1/32 He 219 Turned up today. It is crammed with plastic and it is HUGE!
I got the ZM Interior Etch Set and Eduard Fabric Seatbelts on the way as well as the He 219 Concept note, so more to come.
I put a comparison pick of a Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire Mk IXc from my stash just to show how big it really is.
This is to be a build for probably 2020.... At the moment it is just to be admired in the stash
Cheers, John

Very nice He 219 John!!!!

I've been looking at buying a Horten Ho IX (229) in 1/32 scale (amongst a few) to join my growing lineup build of wunderwaffen and other "could've been" 1945-1946 contraptions but the price for a Zoukei Mura Horten Ho is a bit steep... Is the price for such a Zoukei Mura kit worth the money or is it just the Horten Ho that's that expensive? (compared to other Zoukei Mura kits?)
I want my planes to be in 1/32 scale to roughly match all of my 1/35 tanks and figures.

If only there was a standard in scales and not separate for planes, AFV's, trains, ships, figures etc etc... I'm sure every modeller has asked that question at least once in their lifetime. ;)

blame Tamiya for it, they basically invented 1/35 and every one else followed

Airfix tried to kick start 1/32 military vehicles but it never caught on..

I think it is worth it for what you get in box. In my opinion, the detail provided is superior to Tamiya's 1/32 lineup, which is a big call, but the moulding of detail is superb. By the way, the Uhu is the most expensive, more than the horten (from where I got it). The horten is great and can turn out a brilliant model, but it is still not a model for first time experiences in 1/32. I would recommend trying out the trumpeter 109 series, and if you are doing late war stuff, they have a K-4 variant. They go together great. And Tamiya Spitfires are really good, as they fit great (except for the magnetic cowlings). Just amass some experience in 1/32, before tackling a really big kit, as you are paying a lot for a single kit, and you wouldn't want to make mistakes on that. Alternatively, buy a ZM 1/48 horten first, to get a taste for the engineering of the kit, then move onto the harder 1/32 version. But by all means, get one, and stick it in the stash. I simply recommend having a few other 1/32 aircraft done for experience.
Hope that helps,
John

The Stalwart is for the wheeled truck GB next year. It looks a nicely detailed kit for 1/72.

I remember seeing a Stalwart for the first time in Osnabruck back in the seventies, I could only have been 5 or 6 and had never seen anything like it.

Nice haul there. Bob and Sally - The Happy Couple, looks interesting. Is there a Bob and Sally - The Divorced Couple? :D

Yes Joe! to be purchased separately. Sally comes with a house and a car. Bob comes with a park bench and some trash/bin liners. Ask me how I know? I'm not bitter honest. ;)
