Ralph Nardone Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) Very nicely done! I built the Revell kit many moons ago, and the Zukei Mura kit is certainly worlds apart! The diorama should be a sight to see, can't wait until you get it finished and post pictures. Cheers! Ralph I've moved the rest of my reply to Nick's thread in the Bull Pen.

Circuitrider Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Folks, this is the Aircraft Build section of the forum. In order to keep this thread about the excellent build that initiated this thread and not a history discussion that can become divisive, please confine your comments to the build, itself. History, opinion, discussion of Operation Paperclip is better suited for the Bullpen section of the forum. Please edit your posts accordingly. Thanks, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradley25mm Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Most impressive build. Love the diorama. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Daniel the kit looks fantastic. A friend of mine bought me the Revell kit and I'm getting more motivated to start it after seeing this. I do like the Area 51 idea; very tongue-in-cheek humor if you ask me. I love it!

Mister300 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Plan to add this mech to my diorama what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 That is interesting, although I have to wonder why the dozer blade is so high. I think this will be an excellent addition, bring it man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister300 Posted March 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) I plan to use the crane to hold up the cockpit frame or the wing, I should be able to rig the dozer height and the stance if it sits too low. Will do Hanger 18 or area 51 setting Edited March 1, 2020 by Mister300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheveuxroux Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Amazing kit ! I can't help but think back to the minimal kit details in models I saw in drug stores during the late 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
