78?! Wow! Keep on building!!!
I just thank God every morning that I'm still looking down at the green side of the grass and not looking up at the roots. The biggest problem I have modeling is s slight shake in my hands so attaching small parts using tweezers. I've managed to accumulate 25 pieces of armour, 1:12 scale F 1 racers and mostly 1:32 aircraft the past 5 years. Drives my wife nuts because I'm running out of space for them.Thomas_M wrote:78!? Mate, you really make me high hopes to be up and modelling then, too! Congrats!

My stash is about 150+ kits. As long as I stay within the designated space I am in no trouble. But I do occasionally get teasing remarks about it.Stikpusher wrote:Yeah, my stash tends to be the subject of teasing from my wife... although it's many times more than 25 inbuilt...

I think both our stashes a pretty average. I hear stories and have seen pics of 1000+ stashes.tempestjohnny wrote:I'm up over 200.BorgR3mc0 wrote: My stash is about 150+ kits. As long as I stay within the designated space I am in no trouble. But I do occasionally get teasing remarks about it.
Dear wjkunert, thank you for your review of all three ZM kits. Your information is incredibly helpful because I am pretty new to the world of plastic aircraft models, not aircraft models per se, but I certainly do not understand why there are so few mentions of ZM 1/48 TA 152H. I did find one on another forum actually that supported your review of the kit's qualities; I was surprised that I wasn't able to find more.wjkunert wrote:I've built the ZM 1/32 P 51K, Ho229 and the 1/48 F 4J. The fit on all 3 kits was excellent. I've read that the fit and finish on the earlier kits was not nearly so good as the newer kits. The Ho229 was the biggest challenge as there are lots of little small pieces to deal with and my 78 year old hands are not as steady as they once were nor are my eyes as good. I really do like all the detail ZM puts into their kits, even all the stuff that's hidden. The engine and cooling system details on the P 51 are a good example. I'm sure I'll build another one but I'm currently commencing work on a Tamiya 1/48 F 14A to go beside the F 4J.
