Hi folks,
My friend who built the Korean Mustang in RAAF has asked me to share with you his model of the Tamiya D0 335a in 48 scale, this model is straight from the box, your comments are welcome. The photo is in my gallery.

Hi there

Very impressive! :-) I love late-war Geman aircraft!

The camo scheme differs a bit from my refs... but that's what makes this stuff interesting!

Nice one!!

Verrrry nice. I have always liked the DO335 and that Tamiya kit has been suggesting I buy it when I go to the Hobby Shop. I think I may just give in.

Great job! I have this kit in both 1/72 and 1/48. I can only hope to build them as well as this example.

Love the slight sheen on your flat finish, and the weathering seems perfect for a "trials" aircraft. I always wanted to do this acft as a ficticious post-war Bendix Trophy racer in nat metal with some colorful accent painting. Of course the name emblazoned on the fuselage would have to be something like "Double Trouble". . .

:-) Nice 335, I must get around to building mine :-)
ZoomieE7, what a wonderful idea and the name is right as well. I also have the Monogram version, it was going to become a night fighter, but now you have got me thinking :-)

I have the old Monogram kit in the stacks downstaairs...How does it compare to the Tamiya? I am sure the Tamiya kit is better but is the Mono kit reasonably well done?

Thx!
