Answered THAT question. I can't! Never worked with this type of media, [stickers] and Tamiya has been a first for me in a LOT of ways. The stickers are out. I'm going to buy a set of fabric and PE parts in Nov. and the extra Parts for the Zuike-Mura Do 335 A-0 also, including White metal landing gear struts, guns etc. The BIG ED package arrived today, and I should finish the front and rear bulkheads and cage assembly should be finished today. Pix When done!

Here are the finishing pix for the cage, almost. I'm working on the two fuselage machine guns, they'll be mountable tomorrow!

By the way, this is the Rear Bulkhead of the Cage/Cockpit area, and the second pic is the extreme frontal area of the cage/Cockpit area

It takes time and some skill, but I really enjoy it! Thanks, Blueschica! It's nice to have something to keep your mind occupied!

Ok. The stuff from Volks arrived, and I've already put it with the models that they belong to. Boy, the people at Zoukie-Mura really are INTO the planes they produce! They make manuals about the planes, WITH COLOR PICS so you can paint a bunch of stuff that isn't on the web! I've bought the Dornier Do 335 A-10 [two seat radar version of the Do 335 A-0] which will be released on the 18th of November, but I've already paid for it. I will buy the extra parts the first of December. The Manual I got with the delivery today the CEO of the company details how they researched the plane and details that ALL OTHER model companies leave out.Zoukie-Mura is my new favorite Model producing company. here's from the HOBBYBOSS P-61 B today. Not finished yet...

HB P-61 seatbelt harness parts for the pilot and Radar/Radio gun operators, You can't see it very well, but the triangular ends of the long straight parts of the seatbelts here in the pic have just been added to these parts of said seatbelts. next, these will be added to said seats. Tiny tiny stuff!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Mine is complete, until Christmas day dinner at my sister's house! They arrived today, the Zoukei-Mura Kyuku J7W1 Shinden (two of them) and the extra parts for Both and the Do 335 A-12 extra parts also!

D0VzCmA.jpgThe book in front of the smaller J7W1 box, is the Concept booklet which tells you everything you need to do and have to make the model. Start to finish. I wish all models came like this. Model building is not for dummies unles you buy a Zuokei-Mura model!

All the stuff I need is here now. For all four models. Step by step instructions, PE and White metal parts, Decals...all the paint and most of the tools! YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Back to an update on the HOBBYBOSS P-61 B...

9D9AHfK.jpgxb9tedV.jpg

The flight deck update for the forward deck. The long tube to the right on the floor is the defrost main path and the rest is ventilation tubes for the Pilot, main gunner and rear crewman. I found this info from the original Pilot's Manual from Northrop for the P-61 A and B.
