Model Factory Hiro

Anyone feel like a challenge:

1/32 Type 21 Zero Fighter! Made mostly of photo-etched metal parts, with cast metal parts, clear parts, rubber tires, and more...











...and lest anyone think that this is one of these one-offs built by one of those master modellers who also write their instructions on grains of rice, here are some "sprue" shots of this kit:

Hmm, less parts than the real thing but still too small for me !

            I'll stick to building the real thing thanks.

That's an amazing kit, I really think anyone who can tackle it and do it justice is my hero.  Of course if someone is willing to build one I'd love to have a shot at weathering it.  ;)

Technically the kit is from imcth, MFH produces the white metal parts and is one of the sales outlets.

HobbyLink Japan is also selling the kit:

I've long lusted after the MFH car kits, but just can't justify the expense.

How do you secure the various pieces of etch?  Superglue?  Solder?    I'd most probably make a ham-fisted go of it if I tried.  :(

It'd be perfect for a diorama though.  Production line, repair depot or even wrecked.  There'd be no arguments over the exposed ribbing/internals!
