1/48 Tamiya Dornier Do-335 A Pfeil

--------------------

 

Here is my 1/48 Tamiya Dornier Do-335 A.

I started with the cockpit as usual.  The cockpit was built out of the box with the exception of adding seat belts from Eduard.  I used  the kit decal for the instrument panel.

Painting was done with  Gunze acrylics. Upper surfaces are painted to  RLM 81 / RLM 82  and the lower surfaces to RLM  76.

Due to the high level of detail in the cockpit, I decided to build it as an “opened canopy”.  Interior framing of the moving canopy part is made from painted Tamiya masking tape.

I replaced the kits parts with the beautiful but sensitive Dornier Do335 Pfeil Exhausts # 48105 from Ultracast.

The decals are from the box.  It seems that the “thickness” of the decals is less than the usual Tamiya standards.

It s finished by using  a matt coat from Gunze  after some weathering.

Happy modelling
