I've received the 1/72 Dornier kit.

It's an old kit, but as it'll be bent, dinted, cracked, cut off, knocked to hell and back, it's just what I wanted!





Now the find me a Hurricane.

Cheers.

I can see you are not "hanging about" on this one 570.....I suspect it will be ready by the time the Hurricane arrives.

A bit of work all for nothing.....
Having spent a fair bit of time painting the Dornier crew members, I needed to find something out. What I did find out was at the time of Holmes's attack, the Dornier was on Auto pilot, with just two crew dead on board!
Here's where I was at.




Out of some sort of old fashioned respect, I will not leave the two dead crewmen in their seats. As the pilot is well and truly glued in his seat, I might well have to leave him alone or snip him off. I'll see....

Also, as the cockpit detail won't be seen, I've left the internal bits off. Who's a naughty boy, then?

Ah well, on we go.

Hi Ron
I suppose having the pilot in his seat is not a big deal. The real deal is pulling off the impact which I'm sure you'll do well.

it'll be bent, dinted, cracked, cut off, knocked to hell and back,

You clearly already have a plan of action. :tongue-out3:

Using a Stanley Knife (Other digit removing tools are available) I have cut away the rear control surfaces.


...and finished constructing the airframe.


I have also brushed directly onto the green plastic, a first coat of Vallejo Air RLM 65 to the underside.



To brush painters.
At this stage, don't worry about keeping the initial paint line neat. Get the paint on quickly and leave it alone once on! Just make sure your light colour goes on first, past any colour demarcation lines, and brush out any slight paint ridges.




The application of the dark colour is when you start to 'Sharpen' things up.

Cast ye away thine masking tape throughout the whole exercise. Verily I say unto you, your life will become far easier and simpler.

I recognise that Dornier, Ron.
Did Revell rebox it 'cos I have one. Lines are simple and clean with lots of room for interior additions but you're a naughty boy I see. :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard

[papa 695]

Nice work so far Ron.

[spanner570]

Thanks boys.
Richard - Sorry, but I know stuff all about 'reboxed' kits.
As for interior additions, even if there were any, I'm really not interested, simply 'cos it wouldn't be seen anyway.

I don't know, talk about a negative response to a question!
