Yup, ZM has one. It's freaking gorgeous. I'm just no feeling this plane to the tune of $180, but I'd build the heck out of this kit. The word is there's some hubub with some shapes...who cares...there's actually resin to fix it anyway...even throwing in all the AM you can stomach you're under $100...and it looks close enough for me.
This kit does have its issues, Jim. I don't really care, however. Like you I will just build the darned thing. If my involvement in this hobby is all large scale WWII aircraft then by all means. Hmm 1/24 190 A/F seems like a logical choice. :wink:

@Manny - if I'm not mistaken they were released within a short time of each other.

Watching along on this one Paul - like several others, I'd LOVE to have a go at this one but I simply have no room to deal with it, building OR displaying. Looking good sir.

And for those of you in the middle there's the very good Tamiya quarter scale offering that still stands up VERY well...

...those on the lower end of scale spectrum can look for the Dragon offering in 72nd...I believe Fermis did one in Braille scale that turned out gorgeous!

Yes...I've done both mentioned.
The Tamiya 48th is GREAT!!!
The 72nd Dragon...well...it took a bit of work. Not bad, but some fit issues.
Revell 1/32 is still sittin in the stash!

I remember building the old Frog kit in a Revell rebox when I was a kid. That was a bad kit, these three new options look much better.

I got a bit happy with the glue today and stuck the wings together, added the control surfaces and put the tail feathers on. I do not like movable control surfaces so I glued everything in place.

This thing is going to take a gallon of RLM 76
