    No problem Skyraider. I deleted my posts because I realised I wasn't following my own advice - I'd rather the talk is about the kit itself and the whole thing was getting way too negative :D I wasn't offended by your post (although it did make me rethink my approach). I also realised I should be building rather than arguing about what people post about what a manufacturer decided to kit :)

    Well said Oryx :thumbsup:

    LOL - its nothing against you - I saw your name and it reminded me of the critter (in reality, it hit me as I just about avoided it, till it turned into me and totaled the left side of the truck.... I had a horn shoved through the drivers side window); and then given the general tone of page 14, it (in my mind) had some sort of "comic effect". It was not a personal jab, just a statement involving a real animal and a real truck, and a real person on the back roads in the desert in the middle of nowhere. Just fuel to add to the energizer bunny headed nowhere..... :cheers::thumbsup:

    I see it now, thanks. How is the verlinden kit?

    PlasticWeapons swears by it - just about :thumbsup: Early on in my A-6 build, he recommended that while I was working on upgrading the cockpit - I'm surprised he's not chimed in yet, actually. :hmmm:

    The eduard PE set has a decent option as stated before by devilleader501 - it's what I'm using on my current build.

    Fair enough, SM. I'm sure this point has been argued (and re-argued) on this site before. Regarding Luftwaffe aeroplanes, I see that you're doing a Tamiya He-219; now that's one I can't wait to see in 1/32nd scale (and I'd still like to get it in 1/48th scale)!

    Disclaimer - not to get off topic, just finally responding to an earlier post on this thread.

    Well put, Jason, and very much agreed! First, sorry for the delayed response, I know this was from back in April but I completely forgot to respond as I needed to use the "multiquote" feature, which I can't do from my phone (which is what I use about 95% of the time to access the forums - and I must say that the "mobile version" of this for i-phone SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!). Anyhoo, I remembered today I wanted to respond to you :woot.gif: . As for my Tamiya 219 - it's coming along nicely - though I have this nasty habit of starting a model, doing "x" amount of work on it, then starting another model, and repeating the same process till I have 6 kits I'm rotating through at one time until they're finished. But yes, I'm very much looking forward to both of the 1/32 He 219 releases due out from ZM and Revell (and I STILL need to get my hands on a ZM Skyraider at some point :rolleyes:). Anyhoo, I was going to address the ZM kit in addtion to the Revell one that Otto mentioned, which was the whole reason for why I needed the "multiquote" option in the first place. But, it was addressed shortly thereafter by Gary; so the need for that was no more...

    Also, i've quoted the rest of the line of discussion shortly following the post just in case anyone wants to accuse me of hijacking the Il-2 thread... Learstang did it :wasntme::thumbsup:

    Isn't Revell doing the he-219 in 1/32. I believe I saw it in their catalog for this year.

    have you seen the photos of the new one from Z.M. yet?? That kit would take me a year to build!

    ZM's coming out with an He-219!? Neither is going to be exactly cheap, but I suspect with all the over-engineering ZM do with their kits their's is going to be much more expensive than the Revell kit (not that I would mind them doing a nicely over-engineered Shutorumobiku in 1/32nd scale). ...Well, I took a little time away from writing this post to look at the test shots of the ZM He-219. Most impressive! Mind you it'll cost a mint and take me about five years to build! Although they could have done another kit seeing as how Revell are going to be doing one, I'm not complaining. If I have the money, I'll buy both.

    Regards,

    Jason
