Spoked wheels

Found couple of great online articles about making scale spoked wheels. These were mostly used by WW1 aviation. So some modelers fear rigging WW1 biplanes, but some even experienced WW1 aviation modelers fear spoked wheels. 

Anyway, I've found two great online articles of how to build WW1 scale aviation spoked wheels:

1. Spoked wheel construction technique by Mark D. Smith

2. spoked wheels from "Scale Model Aircraft in Plastic Card" by Harry Woodman

1/32 Scale SWS01 SHINDEN by ZOUKEI-MURA.

Almost every week the new scale model kit sees the light. 

No matter what scale. 

No matter how good or bad is the global economy. 

No matter the weather outside your window.

But the kits that set the new standards in scale modelling and scale model engineering are not so often. Recently I've discovered  the new company from the country of Rising Sun called ZOUKEI-MURA INC. Their first model is 1/32 Scale SWS01 SHINDEN which is already available online.

What have caught my eye is this approach to kit engineering:

This unique internal structure that dispenses with the one-shot frame means that you can develop the internal structure as you please depending on your own plans. 

So basically your model can look like this:

 .. or this:

It seems that even if building this kit OOB (out-of-box) it will look very detailed. It's up to you which panels to remain opened or closed. Whether your're building a diorama or enjoy OOB models. What coming next? Try this one:

I bet we'll hear more from ZOUKEI-MURA INC in future and their models will definitely set the new standards for hi-tech scale model kits!
