I actually took an entire day off today. Can't remember that last time that happened. SO this afternoon I sat down in front of the TV and picked up another Zio kit. No, not the SM 79 I should be doing, but the ME 109 Trop. It looked easier and I needed something that I didn't have to think too much through.
90088
Even with the one piece fuselage, this is still a lot easier than the Stuka kit. It's also larger than 1/72. Not sure what scale it is, but I'd guess more like 1/60.
I'm noticing a common design thing in Zio's plane's;
90089
While I much, much prefer the design of the wings and attachment on this kit over the Stuka, the dihedral comes out a bit steep and needs to be adjusted;
90090
I also decided to go with the sound advice of someone (forgive me, I can't find who at the moment) who suggested separate connecting strips ;
90091
this worked out really well and I think I'll stick with this approach for all Zio planes.
It came together well enough;
9009290093900949009590096
Maybe now I finally get on with the SM 79!
