OldRUSHfan Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRUSHfan Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) 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...First Pic, Main flightdeck from front oblique angle, both operators have gun controls Second pic, front flightdeck from rear angle showing flexible oxygen tubes for operators, third pic, rear Radar and gun operator's seat with flexible oxygen tube next to it.

OldRUSHfan Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Back to an update on the HOBBYBOSS P-61 B... 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
