one page of parts, i like small kits that take up very little card size wise doesn't look to hard to see a plus with my not liking the dreaded reading glasses.

a bit of an update, well i think i need to look at the diagram now I know bad habit of not looking at the diagram when building but thats the bear for you he don't do it till he thinks he needs to and then he wonders how come he got spare bits. ;)

its going well better than I thought it would really. I was there where the formers when I printed and then i figure ok no formers I suppose that is why there is the tabs on both sides of the fuselage to give it that more strenght.

[doctormax]

with no internal former to push out the fuselage I guess the way it is to get the shape is when the canopy and the engine housing are put in place right now it looks like one of them gliders you see in shops. all be it a bit more bulk in the fuselage right now so having looked at it i think the next part to concentrate on is that engine cover which will give it the bulk and then the canopy wings nearly done again how to get the shape of a wing is problematic as is right now i think the best way to get it to go up a bit is to stick in a knife leave the tips of the wings unglued till that part is done then glue them in place. I know some were wondering how to tackle the wings that is the way I am doing it maybe there is a better way but thats the way i thought of when seeing the situation of no former for the wing. I may get it finished tonight then it is mission Zara I think i leave the other three planes till i run into no printed parts for the Zara build or when waiting for the formers to dry for the zara start tackling them. by the way don't put the printer to print to shrink to printable area I done that with the first one and for some reason it printed it about half two thirds the side. thats in case some were wondering is there something printed on the other side of that build. yes there is a FW190 at about two thirds the size.

ok I was a bit busy for a while yapping on yahoo to someone and lost time in my build. so won't get it finished tonight that is a certainty. I can say the wing span is just over seven inchs. so what may well be the last photos taken tonight follows.

[doctormax]

more update, be finished pretty soon just have the props to do and the tail wings

[doctormax]

I think everyone is busy on their own ZP models! Congratulations on getting this one finished! Zio does do a great job on coloring his models in his own style. That's what I like about them the most.
