Looking sharp Rick, very nice
Rick’s 1/48 ICM Dornier Do17z-2

White camouflage applied over AV chipping solution and maskol covered decals. I tried free hand for the upper/lower demarcation lines - let’s see how that works out later.
Maskol off and the chipping effect scrubbed off.
Decals revealed and a pin wash applied for the panel lines. Tonight I did a bit of work on the exhaust staining using weathering powders. Trying to find reference photos of how this style of exhaust deposited staining was difficult so I just went with what looked right. Not forgetting the landing gear doors.
I think this might still need a wash of very thinned white to mute the starkness of the decals and visible under coat.

That came out pretty good.
A little bit of mud. I. imagining this kite as operating from a muddy grass airstrip.
Rick,
Some very nice touches on an already great build.

Couldn't agree more, superb stuff :thumb2:
Great attention to detail Rick
How do you get the wheels on without damaging the painted tyres?
If only a wheel change was this easy in real life! Gently squeeze the shock struts at the top to open out the axle end.
Easy when you’re a landing gear expert (ahem!).

Getting close to the finishing line now.
WOW! that's pretty darn cool!
Yes you are looking the part for sure.
Look forward to seeing the end result :thumb2:
Excellent job there Rick.
I missed this at the beginning but just caught up. I reckon that is a great finish. Really believable and quite unusual. Well done. Definitely worth completing.
That looks the bizz Rick.
That looks the nuts.
I’ve hit a road block with this. I haven’t just misplaced a part, I’ve only gone and mislaid and entire sprue!
The one with the pitot probe, and it was the last part on it too. So I added the last bits I could and have set it aside to dry and come back to it later. Scratch making a replacement pitot probe is plan B.
