I know what scratchbuilding is, but doodle-building is new to me. Must be a nice challenge.

Nice one so far.... and superb in the details... as usual from Zoukai Mura

Michael. Your compliments are much appreciated mate.👍 Knowing what your skills and abilities are like, they mean a great deal. 🙂
Cheers. 👍

Very interesting, Kerry!
The level of detailing of this kit is just great! Well it's ZM, isn't it?😉
8 June 2016, 05:16
Thomas Mayer
Dooh... Waiting for my Concept Note book these pictures here take away some of the surprise.
Just kidding, Kezza! 🙂
8 June 2016, 07:01
Thomas Mayer
I am blown away by your flawless painting of all those tubes and supply lines! I think I must get some of those piants myself, too!
Did you add some weight up front? Or did you leave it as is?
8 June 2016, 07:03
Soeren R.
Really nice start! 😉
8 June 2016, 07:04
Kerry COX
Thomas, Soeren, and Ulf. Thanks guys, and I am over the moon with the way the concept notes looks. So, I now have to live up to that standard now. 🙂 But, with a ZM kit, that will never be a problem, because ZM kits really do bring out the best in everyone who builds them. And Thomas will agree with me here, as his Ho-229 was the centrepiece of the Concept notes that got me all fired up about ZM. 🙂 👍
As for the weights Thomas, it was not until you mentioned that you were looking for places to put the weight putty that I was inspired to go back and look again at just where there could be some places I had not considered before, like inside the engine block as you suggested, and anywhere that has cavities or spaces that are not visible to the eye. 👍
In some of the images I have posted, I have actually made suggestions about some p[laces I will be doing with the production kit I am now the proud owner of. 🙂
8 June 2016, 08:14
Bart Goesaert
what a detail... yummie... Hope they will release some other versions too
8 June 2016, 09:54
Thomas Mayer
Kerry, indeed I already started to add some weight into some parts up front!

Kerry COX
Thomas. ! WOW, That is exactly what I was needing and I will look for it now for the build of the new one I have. But knowing that all the con rods and pistons and ALL the internal detail of the engines will never be seen. Do you think that it could all be removed to create an even larger area for the LG to go. ? :-O
And, as always, Grrrrrr, there is no outlet for the LG or gravity putty here in Oz. (Damm).
BTW, I am seriously looking at adding the PE parts to this build too. :-/
8 June 2016, 15:42
Urban Gardini
Look for tungsten putty at any flyfishing shop!
8 June 2016, 18:29
Christian Bruer
Well another high tech kit in your skilled hands. Your start with the interior is amazing and speedy 👍
I will definitely follow this Kerry!
8 June 2016, 19:19
Kerry COX
Cool Urban. !! It is just amazing what is available but NEVER think of. OMG. 🙂
Thanks mate. You may have just saved my bacon. 🙂 👍
8 June 2016, 19:20
Urban Gardini
No worries mate!

mmmmm....BACON..😄

LOL. A great start to my day. Thanks Mike. 👍 🙂

Yes, nothing like a good chuckle to set it right mate. 🙂
9 June 2016, 02:29
Kerry COX
Have a 'laff' time. 🙂
Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough.
After a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, Kin ya swallar?'
The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue, and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers, and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.
The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm, and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table. His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't never seed nobody done it a'fore.
9 June 2016, 04:36
Michael Hickey
LMFAO... that's a goodin.👍
9 June 2016, 04:45
Kerry COX
Yeah. 🙂 That's a cut and paste I just couldn't let pass. 👍 🙂
9 June 2016, 05:21
Thomas Mayer
Kerry, indeed I removed all the piston rods and other stuff from the inside of the engine. Gives much more space for weight. I filled the engine with lead and filled the remaining gaps with Liquid Weight.
9 June 2016, 06:10
Kerry COX
Yes, a good move Thomas, and I would not put any inside the tyres, but have the 'flat spot' on the tyres to help with keeping the centre of gravity more to the front, and did you see all the gaps that could be weighted in the gun pack, parts number (H-34) and H-33) and just below the main instrument panel and where the back of the 20mm kannone fits into the 'bag' part number (H-twenty eight) that fits to the back of the fire wall, (H-43) just in front of the pilots foot pedals. ?and in the wing tanks (I-10 & I-11)that are in the leading edge of the wing too.? 🙂 Any 'space' that is in front of the main landing gear. 👍 AND even in part (H-29)that is on the cockpit floor between the pilots feet. 👍
9 June 2016, 06:19
Thomas Mayer
Just watched the new pics, Kerry, and I must say you did a stunning job!
9 June 2016, 06:23
Kerry COX
Thomas, I am always so pleased to see what you say about my work, and to tell you the truth, I was in a 'bit of a rush' to get the whole kit done before the end of the timeline they gave me, and I really could and should have done a lot more. :-/
But now I have the full production kit with the full instructions, I will be really wanting to be more attentive to the detailing I overlooked on the test shot.
Especially all the engine plumbing and main landing gear.
I will be going a little more slowly, and not 'second guessing' trying to figure out the roughs I had to work off that came with the test shot.
9 June 2016, 06:45
Michael Hickey
I agree Thomas and the detail they throw in is exceptional.👍
9 June 2016, 07:00
Kerry COX
Thanks again Mike, and I am hoping that you will grab one of these kits, as the detail your seeing here just has to be seen up close and personal really, as it really is just exceptional what they have done. Truly the 'bench mark' has been set by ZM, true to the beasts they get access to, just nothing missed at all.
9 June 2016, 07:42
Thomas Mayer
Agree on the bench mark, Kerry. I have the other kit (HKM) also here with me. Really, I have made my mind about what kit I would spend my money for! 😉
9 June 2016, 08:57
Kerry COX
The Hong K kit. ?? Wow. I have seen one thing I would have liked ZM to do was the 'bubble' on either side of the canopy like the HK kit. But I do believe the detail quality is not as good as people are saying. I do hope you will send me some images of what you will be doing with it mate.?
9 June 2016, 09:17
Michael Hickey
Maybe I might get their Horten in 1/48 for Christmas.
9 June 2016, 12:13
Kerry COX
Oh yes. And, it is the exact same one as the big 32, nothing missing, just scaled down. you will love this kit Mike. 👍
9 June 2016, 12:19
Michael Hickey
Yes, I've been thinking about it for a while now, Lucky Models have it at the moment for a give away price at the moment. But I'm going 4x4 driving on Moreton Island with Tammy and my 2 girls in October so I need to be careful what I spend.
9 June 2016, 12:23
Kerry COX
Moreton is awesome, but just keep an eye out for the 'wash outs', where the fresh water creeks flow to the seaward side from the hinterland, gouging deep gullies across the beach, that if you hit them at speed, a nasty result. Very hard to see mate. 🙁.
9 June 2016, 12:33
Thomas Mayer
Hinterland? Is this an Aussie word?

Clifford, I thank you for your encouragement mate. 🙂 It's just such fun to build these ZM kits, easy and super rewarding. 👍
Especially for those of us who have thick sausage like fingers. LOL 🙂

Thanks for the tip Kerry, I'll keep my eyes peeled for them.🙂

Kerry COX
Good morning gents. 🙂
Choppa, it is just as you say mate. And more. 👍.
It was one challenge I would happily do again. 🙂
Mike. There are stories on Google of some of the 'accidents' on Moreton from where drivers have just 'driven off a cliff' type of thing when it happens. google.com.au/url?sa..aKPawKyaomwo_pbNsaxA

Cool Site Kerry, I've added it to my favorites, thanks.
10 June 2016, 03:06
Kerry COX
Thanks Mike. 🙂 Watch out for the Warrigals too.:-s
10 June 2016, 04:31
Michael Hickey
I didn't know they had those on Moreton, I thought they were only on Fraser.
10 June 2016, 05:11
Thomas Mayer
Kezza, I asked about "Hinterland" with a twinkle, for it is a German word!
It means back country or (hold on!): outback! 🙂
10 June 2016, 05:15
Kerry COX
Michael, 🙁 I stand corrected mate, and I was totally wrong. Just thinking 'safety' mate. :-/
Thomas, I am always learning something and twice on the same day, well. There you go. :-p
The 'Outback' here is WAY out the back of the hinterland hehehehe. 🙂
I KNOW they have Warrigals out there, cus I seen em' LOL.
Mike, for sure Thomas is going to wonder what we are talking about here. hehehe. 😉

Oh you really need to be careful of those drop bears.;)

playtime 222
Have too many 1/48 variants to do first. Resisted the temptation of the HK Zerstorer too. If this was a B2 or in 1/24 I would not be able to deny myself 😄
10 June 2016, 11:24
Kerry COX
I can understand that. 🙂 Playtime. 👍
10 June 2016, 13:08
playtime 222
With 1/32 you would just HAVE to bring the aftermarket which puts the total over 500EUR. I can build 5 variants with all the goodies in 1/48 for that. Besides, I already have an A in 1/24 - WestWings stick/tissue/rubber power.
10 June 2016, 13:21
Thomas Mayer
222, I hear you on after market for the HK kit. For a kit of this price there shouldn´t be this much add-ons needed to correct flaws of the kit.
The ZM kit, on the other hand, has much more detail out of the box. Mine will only get the colour printed PE for the cockpit, and maybe a pilot figure. The kit itself is this nice, as you can see on Kerry´s masterpiece!
10 June 2016, 15:58
playtime 222
I love the ZM Ho229 too especially in 1/48 and I see this 335 has transparent skin too. Fingers crossed for another downscale.
10 June 2016, 16:43
Urban Gardini
A downscale is possible if you consider just how popular their Do335 seems to be...
10 June 2016, 20:27
Kerry COX
Yes Urban, and that was also the case of the Ho-229. 👍
10 June 2016, 21:05
Thomas Mayer
I wouldn´t be surprised...
11 June 2016, 07:53
Kerry COX
Let's hope so. 👍
Thomas, how is the weight adding going mate. ?🙂
11 June 2016, 09:41
Thomas Mayer
As it only was a test for myself I added weight into the engine, the front wheel and the ammo boxes. I will maybe add more weight in to the radial cooler, too.

But these days there is another project on the bench, so the Do 335 still is in the box.
11 June 2016, 11:58
Kerry COX
Thomas. 🙂 Good morning mate. 🙂
I was under the impression that you were actually building a Do-335. :-/
Well, if that is the case, I will be able to let you know what I have done about my weight problem, (As well as my own) and let you know, but first I am having to get and wait for my 'liquid gravity' as it is only available from the EU, and I can't access any 'buckshot', so, I am the grasshopper for a while.👍
I am though, doing as many sub-assemblies I can and prepping other bits and pieces, as all other projects I had running are now in hibernation. 🙂
11 June 2016, 20:26
Thomas Mayer
Kerry, the 335 is VERY tempting! I am about to pre-order some Super Wing Options, but those are not available these days.
I am working on a model for Heidi´s (our) eldest son, who serves in the German army. But the Revell version of a Dragon tank kit is a dog to build. Even worse: it´s moulded in yellow plastic! A tank kit in yellow plastic!! Yikes!!
11 June 2016, 21:06
Urban Gardini
Yellow plastic is an abomination!
11 June 2016, 21:17
Thomas Mayer
It is, Urban! Especially on a tank kit!

It is soft, and easily bend. Having build Dragon kits before this Revell issue looks as if they had got Dragon´s waste sprues...

But enough of hijacking Kerry´s thread. Sorry, Kezza!
12 June 2016, 09:10
Christian Ristits
Wow, how could I have missed this??? This is spectacular!
12 June 2016, 10:40
Kerry COX
Hijack away Thomas.🙂 🙂 🙂 It's like sitting around a table while we all build and paint our kits. 🙂 👍
12 June 2016, 11:03
Thomas Mayer
Kezza, that would be so great! 🙂
12 June 2016, 11:08
Kerry COX
Oh, It's bound to happen mate. March 2017 I believe. 🙂
12 June 2016, 12:26
Thomas Mayer
Hehehe!!! :-D
12 June 2016, 17:48
playtime 222
@ Kerry - you mean a 1/48 on the strength of 1/32 sales? Hope so. A ZM skinless build would fit in so well with my intended collection of Pfeil variants.
12 June 2016, 17:53
Kerry COX
Tripple 2, Given that the total frame work is there on the Do-335 as is. I would not be surprised if ZM went that road and did one. The internal structure is just amazing on this kit, and it would make one hell of a kit is one was manufactured in 1/48. 🙂
ZM is fast becoming the 'Go to" kits for accuracy and detail. For sure. 👍
12 June 2016, 19:37
Holger Kranich
Ahh, here we go again! Finally you got the permission, Kerry!🙂
15 June 2016, 09:53
Holger Kranich
Oh my goodness, what a detailed kit! Stunning! (But one question, please: Didnt the cockpit had to be painted in RLM66?)
15 June 2016, 09:57
Kerry COX
Holger, what you will find with the finished cockpit of mine is that I was able to darken it with a wash to bring the overall finish more like I saw with some images I was able to acquire of the ones from ZM. Being the grey green like the main instrument panel is. But with the new one I am building of the production model, I have now the concept notes and the colour call outs in the instructions. Something I didn't have when I built the 'test shot'., But it was something I found difficult, getting reference material that was accurate. And what I did see, the colours were all over the place. So, the final images will be of the 'darker' cockpit colours. 🙂
15 June 2016, 10:08
Michael Hickey
In November 1941 a document was released by the Luftwaffe that said all areas that can be viewed through a glazed covering must be painted 7107.66 (RLM 66).
15 June 2016, 11:04
Michael Hickey
In the last few months this was hit and miss.
15 June 2016, 11:05
Holger Kranich
Doesnt matters, looks good as it is, Kerry!🙂 And i had the same info like Michael.
Here is a pic AFTER the restoration by Dornier in Munich, dont look like RLM66 either...

[img1]
 
15 June 2016, 11:12
Kerry COX
Hi Guys. Thank you both for that info. 👍
I am wondering if you had looked at images 142/3/4 and compare them to 158/9, I had tried to get a darker result and 158/9 was the finish of the darkening of the inside and consoles. But judging by what is in the ZM Concept notes and the images of the one they took all the measurements and images from, I have got the colours right. 🙂
15 June 2016, 11:48
Michael Hickey
Either way it's the modelers decision how they paint their model and yours still looks great.
15 June 2016, 12:12
Holger Kranich
I agree with Mike! I love it!
15 June 2016, 12:28
Kerry COX
Well gents, I am blessed I have your support and encouragement, and all I can do with what I have now, is follow the directions in the book of 'gluing and cutting' and pray I don't loose or break anything. 🙂 👍
It's amazing to build it now, with all the instructions now making sense of all I found a little confusing. :-s
I now see all the mistakes I made in the test shot and how much better it looks now when it's done properly. LOL
But as they say. 'Better armed second time around make all the difference in the fight', and that is true in this case, as I now know what to do, and what not to do, making Jack a happy chap. 🙂
I am actually making yet an other album of the build, and with hindsight, I am hoping it will be an improvement on the last effort, especially in the sequencing and content of the images, along with some scratch work I believe this model just screams out for, especially with the fantastic amount of detail that would otherwise be buried and lost from view. 👍
Ha ha ha, and the engines now look like they are ready for some work. 🙂
15 June 2016, 15:56
Holger Kranich
Kerry, the details are so amazing, it would be blasphemy to hide them!!!🙂 What a great kit and what a great work from you!😄
15 June 2016, 18:03
Kerry COX
Holger. 🙂 Thanks for that mate. 👍.
I have been jumping from build to build, scratching an itch I just cant reach, starting a project and soon find it's packed away, "for later", and THEN !, when I saw this on my front door step, like a gift from the God's so to speak, I just HAD to have a little look, and yup, before I knew it, I was as happy as a pig in shit, up to my eye brows in paint and parts and drills and glue and all those things that makes my heart sing. LOL🙂
When I look at the article on my build in the ZM 'concept notes', I feel a little embarrassed, seeing some of the things that could have been done better, but then I think, well it looks ok for what I didn't have, like instructions, and I am ok with that.🙂 👍

15 June 2016, 21:13
Michael Hickey
To get the model together with what little instructions you did have is amazing, I wouldn't be embarrassed. And there must be something in the air mate as I'm having the same problem, jumping in and out of kits trying to find one that fits just right.🤔
16 June 2016, 00:02
Bart Goesaert
This one turned out really nice...

know the feeling about jumping from one kit to another, till you find "the" kit... for meknow it seems to be the one I'm busy now... A real bugger to assemble, but in the end, I got more fond of it then on other kits...
16 June 2016, 06:49
Thomas Mayer
Kerry, I am with you on having no hold when this kit arrived at my doorstep! 🙂
I absolutely feel the same temptation to start this wonderful kit in a minute! Gladly I found an excuse for me: some aftermarket is not yet available here in Germany...
16 June 2016, 07:47
Thomas Mayer
I think I should give masking with Parafilm another "Go!", looking at the so precise masking on the new tanks. Kezzy, this cries "Perfection!". I only hope that my roll of Parafilm isn´t too old; I got it so many years ago...
16 June 2016, 07:49
Kerry COX
OK, I will address all of you in the order the posts are on my page. (Oh it's a bugger being popular) LOL 🙂
Michael. Thanks to you for your kind words mate. I am glad I am not the only one leaping from box to box, looking for that 'grab', and what I am looking forward to seeing from you is the big 'tanker' in all it's detailed glory, because I know how fussy you get about having things 'just right'. 🙂 And I am sure you'll have all of us enthralled. 👍
16 June 2016, 08:05
Kerry COX
Bart. I think it comes with the territory mate, and we are worse than women when alone in the hobby shop, drooling over everything in sight, imagining just where it will fit in amongst all the other ones in the display case. 🙂 And as for the 'fondness', yeah, I can relate to that very easily. 🙂
16 June 2016, 08:10
Kerry COX
Thomas, Am I to assume the kit has arrived from ZM for you. ?:-p
And what are the after market items your getting. ?
Are they the ZM ones released to the distributors, like the metal landing gear. ?
I am inclined to go the metal ones, mainly because of all the extra weight I have packed into all those spaces I was telling you about, thinking the pins wont last forever, but the metal will.👍
NOW, as for Parrafilm. It does NOT 'age'. It will be exactly the same in 20 years from now if it's never used. 🙂
The roll I have. It has lasted me well over ten years now. The 'trick' to getting it to perform at it's best is to place the piece you cut for use between the palms of your hands, just to soften it up and that will aid in it stretching in a uniform manner. And the surface it is to go onto must be squeaky clean, and when it is applied, firmly, with your fingers or thumbs, press the film into all the raised detail to force the air bubbles out, and it will 'adhere' to that surface. When you cut it, it only take a small amount of pressure with a brand new blade to pass through the film, trying NOT to mark the surface of the part too much. :-/
but make sure the cut you make is 'complete'. avoiding any tails that will drag the film off the work area when the time comes to lift away the film you no longer need.👍.
The real key to having success with it is TAKE YOUR TIME. Go slow with the cutting along the line you need to follow.

16 June 2016, 08:16
Thomas Mayer
You are right, Kerry. I got my kit from Japan many weeks ago. There even is another one on the way soon from a German distributor! Imagine this: two (2) Do 335´s!!! 🙂

On the aftermarket: I am about to pre-order the colour PE cockpit parts, a pilot figure and maybe the metal landing gear. But so far I doubt this could be necessary at all.
16 June 2016, 12:34
Urban Gardini
I plan to go with PE, metal landing gear and maybe wheels for mine but the kit itself is still on backorder for me.
16 June 2016, 12:38
Kerry COX
Hi guys. 🙂
A word on the landing gear. 👍
I have had a rethink on the metal bits, as the kit gear really is robust and it's not like I will be pushing it around the table top saying Varoom Varoom or the such, but I will be happy with what is there.🙂
And THOMAS, you lucky man. !!! TWO of them. And I will be passing on all the tips I can, but only if you need them, as you are a big boy now and somehow, you must know what your doing eh.?
I am still looking at the Ukranian 1/32 figures for the kit. :-/
The kit I have now, I am just powering through it, but I suppose being familiar with the process helps, but mate, it is going together so sweetly, and clean too. 🙂

I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the extra little bits I am doing with it. 🙂

OK, enough. 🙂
It's your turn for some images you guys. 🙂
See ya. ! 👍
17 June 2016, 00:20
Thomas Mayer
Got my Concept Note book yesterday, signed by all my friends in Japan! I am a happy man! 🙂

Inside, there is a build report from a nice chap from Australia! Ah, I cannot remember his name this minute... Something like Red Roo?!? I know Red Riding Hood, but... 🙂

Will be a great read soon! What makes me happy and proud is that I am mentioned at the back as a contributor! Oh, my Japanese friends make me this proud!
17 June 2016, 05:47
Kerry COX
LOL. 🙂 Little Red Riding Hood, indeed. !🙂
Thomas, I hope you enjoy all the reading of the concept notes, and not be too critical of the images I sent to Japan, but like I said. Rough drawings and some knowledge of aircraft construction really helped me through, but the other guys did some magic stuff. 🙂
Yes, it is a nice feeling to see one's name in print, that's for sure.
OK, Back to it for me. 🙂

Isnt it great that SCM established so many friendships, all over the world? I feel very graceful when i think about that! 🙂
17 June 2016, 12:16
Kerry COX
That is so true Holger. 🙂 👍
From the moment I joined this family, I have enjoyed nothing but support and encouragement every day. 🙂
And the fact that there is a big social aspect as well, like knowing I will be joining up with a bunch of you all at Wangarooge next March will be the 'Icing on the cake' for me, the extension of the brotherhood that keeps it so much alive.
I am most privileged to be part of the whole thing, all my brothers and sisters in modelling........Salute. 🙂

Salute, Kezza! Such a privilege to have you as a friend! Same to Holger, of course! 🙂

No i no doubts about it! I just hope that the weather will allow a just in time arrival! March is famous for an unpredictable weather and i wont hope that fog or storms will stop you from reaching the island... 😉

I see it like you - Nothing can stop us from doing desperately what we want: Modeling! 😄

So put some rocks in your pockets, not that you get blown away from the coming storm;)

I had the same idea but rocks are not so expensive;)

The 'rocks' sound a better idea mate, and useful for chasing away the pesky seagulls. hehehehe. 🙂
And Thomas, I will not have you wasting good liquor by pouring it into my pockets mate. 🙂 Just find a big mug and It will be easier than trying to drink it out of my soggy pockets. 👍 🙂 🙂 hahahahah

Even easier to glue you feet to the island soil with super glue! Worked fine this spring: nobody was blown away by the strong winds! 🙂

I really hope that ZM is going for a 48 kit of the Do 335, even if we already have the great Tamiya kit!

Agreed. Their Horten is on my wishlist and I already have 4 Tamiyas to do the variants. An framework one with a workshop around it would be a great addition.

222, The dio of a 'framed' Ho-229 sounds most interesting mate.👍
I think that Uschi have some dioramas of the 229 in a hangar/workshop situation.
I will see if I can find it. 🙂

Album info

What this is all about is the way I put together the Do-335 with the very basic 'instructions' I had to download from Zoukie-Mura. These were, to say the least, just rough drawings of the parts, with hand drawn arrows and hand written suggestions as to where parts "Should" go. So, here we go. :-0
