Hi all,

Here is my latest effort finished at last, Tamiya's 1/48 Dornier Do 335 Pfeil (Arrow), Werk No 240102, Series A-0, Fin No 102.
The model was built out of the box with kit decals and only minor modifications.

• Photo Etch instrument panel and seat harness from Eduard.
• Gun muzzles drilled out
• Exhaust stacks drilled out
• Tires flattened

It didn't exactly turn in to the masterpiece that I was hoping for but it was a fun build all the same and makes up into one big piston engined single seater.

Thanks for looking
Darren

Hi Darren....NICE work matey!

Hi Darren
simply lovely.

The photography is excellent.
Really captures the model off a treat.

Lovely work mate.

Cheers

Looks great - love the splinter camo. Very good

that's very neat work Darren....can I nit-pick..? one thing that would have improved it for me would have been to paint the framing on the inside of the canopy perhaps......

A great looking subject you have and nice work on the splinter scheme, the Do335 looks good in any scheme.

Thanks for the kind words Jan, Peter, Jesper Job & Neil I really appreciate it.

Neil thanks for the feedback, I knew someone would pick that up as to me it stands out like dogs you know whats. I actually had some Tamiya tape that I had sprayed RLM 66 and cut into thin strips that was going to be used as the interior framing on the canopy. Unfortunately when I applied it I couldn't get it to sit right and it looked pretty horrible. As the model was going into a comp the next day I deep sixed the whole lot rather than having it look half done.

Cheers
Darren

Hi Darson,

I can only see a couple of very minor items to nit-pick-- not worth mentioning.

Your weathering is sensible--the streaking of lubricants behind the control surface hinges

Let us know how the comp went. You have a contender!

Looking good Darren!
This one is also on mine "to-do" list. (i have the extras, but not the kit )
I like the weathering. Subtle as it should be.

Thanks very much Fred & Gregax taking the time to have a look at my 335 and thanks for the comments.

Fred the judges must have not been taking their medication the day of the comp because I managed to pick up best axis

Gregax the Do 335 was always one of those kits that I really wanted to do and the Tamiya offering is just beautifully engineered and a joy to build.

Cheers
Darren
