1/144 Dornier Do-335 Pfeil (Arrow), ThaiPaperWork
Life finally cut me some slack, and I was able to finish a build this week.
Today we have the Dornier Do-335 by Nobi. I've had this for a long time, always wanted to build it, so a while back I started it. My first change was to rescale it from 1//72 to 1/144. Next, I did alter the colors a little, to suit what my eye sees as more accurate. Then, I weathered the panel lines with some very light shading, and lightened the middle of the panels. After some research, and a thorough study of the intruction diagrams, (it is a complex design) I started in. It originally comes with 2d struts, so I added rolled struts and retract actuators. I also added the nose mounted machine guns, as well as a loop aerial. As a detail I have adopted, I built up the wheels using thick card stock, then punched out copy paper wheel hubs. To me, this gives a much neater wheel/tire appearance. The last item added was the pitot tube on the port wing. It is not my cleanest build, but the fingers are improving, so I do see improvement in the build quality. So, what say we take a walk around? And, because I like the view Thanks for stopping in.

Another classic build Ray. I like what you have done with the panel lines and shading, very effective.
All the best and happy modelling. Bernie. |
