Welcome to the world of Zoukei Mura.. so much of your work is hidden. i think of these kits as an education on how the subject was built rather than just a scale model. Great reminder on that clear fuel pipe.. The Revell kit also has the pipe moulded in clear, which, as you say is a great idea. Only trouble is... guess where they put the sprue connection point.. yep, right on the only part that remains clear!! doh!!

Hello Richie, how amazing, I started my build channel Scrap Box building the magnificent ZM Hs 129 B-2, although my channel is in Spanish and for Hispanic modelers and Spanish speaking people, we send the send message while building so this make me quite happy, I just found your channel two days ago and I will follow you, cheers from Monterrey, Mexico

Awesome, have a great weekend.

Some of the kits have seats with no harnesses I guess they are assuming you will be adding a figure. I know none of the Phantom kits have them. The Skyraider gives you the option with harness/seatbelts

[@RWHobbies]

It is a strange one as it comes with a standing figure in the pack, but not a seated one.

Great work on the cockpit. Just a comment though. The glass on instrument faces is actually flat, not convex (or even concave). Keep up the great videos and happy new year!

Thanks for the info! Have a wonderful weekend.

I'm a fan boy for ZM, esp since my two favorite German aircraft(Ta-152, and He-219) were early in ZM's history. With that said, some earlier kits are a bit more fiddly(very close tolerances, can't do a quick slap together build). I am a huge fan of their F-4 line. These do not build up in a typical order as much as most 48 scale jets, but they are a really nice step up from what has been offered for Phantoms prior to Tamiya and their B model. They aren't like the 32nd scale as far as internal details and framing. Great out of box build other than some canopy latches if one does canopies up, and again adding some belts to the seats. Otherwise OOB.
