Sprue L…
has more lines for the interior. Again the detail is superb, crisp and well moulded.
Sprues K & M…
these are the clear sprues and hold 3 different canopies plus other parts.
These are really well done and slide moulded to give the correct canopy shape; they are crystal clear and you will be able to see into the cockpit through the canopy.
Onto the paper parts and there are a lot of these – first the instruction book…
This is very well thought out with detailed build diagrams and colour call-outs for almost if not every part. ZM put a complete list of Vallejo paints needed for this model. I have only a couple of issues with the paint colours for the interior, but there again I have not seen their research but I would look up the yellow and green chromate colours yourself just to make sure.
The decals seem to me to be a little thick to the touch. As this is the first ZM kit I have done I have no idea how they handle but they are very well done and crisp and clear with all colours looking to be correct.
One day ZM will start using Cartograf decals and we will all be very happy!
There is a mask set included and it seems to be of a vinyl type. The rest of the paperwork in the box is mostly advertising. As I pre-ordered mine I got some stickers too – not sure what I will use them on though!
A2 sided colour sheet with what is their next release on one side and more info and extra detail sets available on the other. Both are in Japanese so I have no idea what they say!
Zoukeimura additional detail sets…
I also purchased at the same time some of ZM extra detail sets. When I opened one I got a surprise because I knew who had done them instantly and looking at the bottom of the etched fret was the name EDUARD. I have no idea if Eduard will be releasing their own detailing sets for this kit, but IMHO not much is needed and the ZM/Eduard sets seems to cover the detailing just fine.
