What a masterpiece of kit design and implementation. I was lucky enough to be working on the Tokyo Olympics and my venue was a 5 minute train ride from the Akihabara district where the scale modelling centre of the universe is for me. One of the shops there had an area where a woman was constructing the first SWS 1/32 kit I had ever seen (the Horton). Each day before my shift started I’d jump on the train to watch the magic slowly unfolding as this immensely skilled and patient lady created a diorama that inspired and changed my whole approach to modelling. Until you see one of these kits up close you cannot grasp the level of detail and precision that is there. The instructions alone are above and beyond even Wingnut Wings (and I am a WnW addict and fanboy) - obsessive detail and ease (such as having all the paints that are used on that page being listed across the bottom of the page so you don’t need to turn back to the inside cover). Every tiny detail has been scrutinised and honed. If you have our sickness then Zoukei Mura is the best medicine! I also have this kit Peter and I can’t wait to watch your build. It is perfect for your unrushed and perfectionist approach.

Visited the Speyer Technik museum in Germany last week and will model my 109 on that superb example. Pre ordered the Fw190 and just researching current paints etc. Also found my preferred Yellow 2 9/JG 2 Josef Wurmheller decal set to go with it.

The MG 151 was a High Velocity, fast firing 20mm Belt-fed cannon. The MGFF was a 20mm slower firing, Drum fed cannon with a low rate of fire and lower velocity shells. (The MG FF was also used in the wings of the Bf109E model. and was discontinued after 1943 and the advent of the Fw190A-6, which had 4x MG151s. The MGFF was also less accurate due to a shorter barrel.).

As for the Kill markings - note that the scroll above them has 40 on it - the bars below it are in addition to that. What look like springs on the undercarriage legs are actually rubber gaiters. The main and tail struts are oleos, ie, air/oil filled, not sprung. I don't think these gaiters lasted long, because many photos don't show them - poss. because the leg design was beefed up and they no longer fitted. The little instrument cooling fan thingy above the radio that you mention at 1:00 is the Master compass gimbal housing. This could be magnetic or gyro-compass depending on version.

I received my pre-ordered ZM 190 at the end of November, and, I quite agree, it's magnificent. As you repeatedly mentioned the pallor of the plastic, I started hearing strains of "A Whiter Shade of Pale", LOL! Morose Procol Harum associations aside, for me , when the instructions, plastic, and the attention to detail are considered, ZM shares the lonely top tier with only the late Wingnut Wings, and Kotare. GWH's Hawk 81-A2 would have put them there had they done a comparable job with the instructions! To paraphrase yet another song, we may have good kits, but we'll never have better. Glory-O, Glory-O, to the bold kit manufacturers. Did you notice the prop blades' "notched" retaining nuts on the hub, and the exactly duplicated hub of the cooling fan, and the wider & narrower caopies for the closed and open versions (190 canopies were "hinged" on top so that they could narrow as they were slid back on the narrowing fuselage). I could go on. I believe this kind of detail is a first in modeling the 190, and surely underscores ZM's commitment to detail fidelity.

I can't say that they always go to the same extremes of detail, externally & internally, with the possible exception of their 1/32 scale. But, I'd say, if they got their very clear instructions up to ZM, Kotare & WW standards, I'd be willing to consider Tamiya "right there" (it wouldn't hurt if Cartograph was contracted for Tamiya's decals).

At my local hobby shop, the seat belts add an extra 13% to the cost of the kit. That's significant and seriously reduces the kit's value. Seat belts are highly visible and more important to model presentation than all those hidden details. I don't see how anything from Z-M could be considered for year end honors with a major omission like seat belts. In my opinion, it's unacceptable for this scale and price range. It comes across as a marketing ploy to make their kits look like good value. Then they make up the lost profit margin with the very high mark-up on the aftermarket seat belt set because no self-respecting modeller will build it without seat belts.

Hi, absolutely stunning kit 😍😍😍 thanks for a wonderful video of her. The German WWII fighter “ace’s” only received this credit after 100 confirmed kills. British pilots get the “Ace” at 20 I think could be 15 I can’t remember the highest German Ace had almost 400 kills mostly on the eastern front at beginning of the war. As most Russian aircraft where old WWI fighters and they had thousands of them but instead of scrapping them they just sent them out to die in combat then when they started running low shipped out all the modern aircraft they’ed borrowed from us and America or built themselves. But unfortunately all there best pilots were by now dead. So it was an extremely difficult time for the Russians and why the German kill rates are so high it’s not B/S or hyped up numbers the German Luftwaffe was extremely strict on verifying every kill the pilots had but some at the start of the conflict were shooting down 10-15 aircraft a day on the eastern front. Anyway… I’d like to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a spectacular New Year 🤩😎😍 all the very best wishes to you and your wonderful wife and family, Kenny 😁🤩😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Thursday, 29 August, 2024) Well, now, is THIS one truly exciting for its stunning detail! On the issue of an aircraft’s wing flaps operating as a pilot is taking off or landing, I hear a debate about their use or deployment outside that situation. Some say that whilst an æroplane is aground, they never are lowered. Others say that if a plane’s hydraulic lines (hoses?) are essentially inert-that is, I infer, the pressure has dropped; and from this, I deduce that said hydraulic pressure is to hold the flaps in a neutral position; that is, they have no ærodynamic influence on the airframe’s flight vector or performance-and the flaps will drop, at least to a degree. Exactly what is true? Another matter: A couple of new model kit manufacturers ow show an even greater level of precision; Zoukei Mura is first, with their 1:32nd-scale kit of the Focke Wulf FW-190A-4. eye-popping at numerous points. MiniArt, in their 1:48th-scale kit of Republic’s P-47D Thunderbolt USAAF Fighter, have incorporated in the cockpit sidewalls astounding detail, establishing to my judgement that the kit actually exceeds in comparable Tamiya aircraft models in this scale! What other model makers would deserve inclusion in this discussion? Tell us all on KZitem your thoughts, please.

It is definitely a Masterpiece. I ve been waiting to get my hands on for 9 years... Wow. Also a very nice presentation/ review. But two minor downsides should be named versus the overall positive impression. First and foremost is the landing gear around 6 mm to short. It looks like one has measured a museumpiece which must have been displayed with insufficently pressurized landinggear (27 atü). In reality that means the museumpiece sinks down and sits like a lame duck. It is also seen on the FW190 F-8 in the states. Result was that the restauration team painted the load- indicator-scales on the movable and static parts of the landibg gear covers in the wrong position. Eduard have earlier gone the same path with their brassin undercarriage. A bit of a shame but its visible since the two lowest visible mounting points for the static part mounted on the landinggear-cylinder should be shown and not hidden by the lower part (mounted to the piston) covering the wheel. So the perfectionist has to be aware that there is evtl. surgery to be done (in form of enlengthening the piston of the landinggearstrut as well as splitting the covers - luckily two versions are included in the kit) when wanting to present the aircraft sitting at the correct angle and the correct height. The Prop-blades seem to be a later version as this version had a 4mm step in the blade- root-shaft and the latter been a bit longer for making room for the balance-weights introduced on later models. So the blades are a tad to wide since up to A-4s they used a slimmer prop-blade with a different partnumber. The model seems to represent the wider A-5 to A-8 blade. I can only assume that since the engine was moved 152mm forward and ailerons, elevators and vertical stabilizers had been changed that this new blade compensated some changes and gave a better performance at higher altitudes as with the end of 1943 it was forced to fight over 5000m where the FW190 usually had the best performance. But thats my assumption. Fact is there are two different partnumbers for early FWs up to A-4 and from A-5 to A-8/F-8. As mentioned in a different review, the Decal for for fuelquality-requirements is marked with 87 wheras it should be marked with C3 100 octane. Thats a mibor thing of what to be aware of on an otherwise outstanding, almost perfectly researched and represented kit. Thank you again ZM for delivering such an outstanding model. Bravo! What a result!!!

@@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab Its basically the same. To be honest .. Seeing how sturdy the plastic legs are and that evtl. a new strut comes into use (at least for my part) it seems not necessary at all. Brass would be the choice of the day but since Eduards are also way to much compressed (also seen on the scissors-knee) I, personally, would convert the plastic parts. Whitemetal also bends if your unlucky and since they are obviously a tad to short I would set a brass tube into the plasticstrut, to enlengthen the original lower part. Drilling out the plastic is a lot less hazzle than the white-metal tiptoe-drilling-excercise ( or worse the brassin from Eduard - I managed in the end - the stuff is tough but seems to float as soon as there is to much pressure... Just my two cents but I thought it reasonable info for those who seek it displayed as seen on most pictures showing an A-4..

This I have to say is very disappointing concerning all FW-190 releases by this maker, and is totally inexplicable: The windscreen is here the wrong width, being either way too wide or way too short in the manner of old tool Eduard in 1/48: 6.1 mm wide to 5.0 actual in 1/48 (20 freaking %!!!!!!). Length should be 10 mm in 1/48. This affects the entire canopy appearance. When are they going to STOP RELYING ON ANCIENT NOT TO SCALE FACTORY DRAWINGS?????? This is all the more incomprehensible in that Eduard FIXED IT in the new tools, Hasegawa got it 15 years ago, AND EVEN ZM'S OWN TA-152H IS CORRECT, WITH THE IDENTICAL SAME BASIC CANOPY OUTLINE!!!! Furthermore, the bulged hood version here (not relevant to this variant, but important nonetheless) is COMPLETELY missing the OMEGA cross-section that makes this hood variant so unique, the same lame barely bulged outcome as did Hasegawa and even Eduard on the new tools... If you can't mould this shape, then put in a VACU-FORM for Pete's sake... And yes, the available vacu-form exists (in 1/48) ONLY to match canopies of the wrong width, or with a wrong bulged profile (Dragon), although in 1/32 I don't know. I had to totally scratch my own 1/48 bulged canopy, and it was insane work. Just WHEN are these people going to get their act together on the 190s, the world wonders... Even the box cover art depicts the windscreen too wide like the kit, which I have literally NEVER seen ANY artist do (they almost always get it right)...

@@iannicholls7476 Not my scale so not bothering me either. The stupidity bothers me though, especially when you see the kind of sacks of money thrown at it by people who think they're "experts" because they have a bunch of not to scale factory drawings... The original factory papers have stamps "not to scale" on them, probably lost in the clean up process, and they just keep not getting it.
