Revell Dornier 335 In Progress

[Brian da Basher]

Yowsa that's one really sweet color scheme there Allan! I particularly like the misty blue on top and the wavy demarcation line which contasts nicely against the red tail and the yellow leading edges! You're building a real head-turner!

Slowly getting there. A few changes to the color scheme. Have to spray the undersurfaces next.

Lovely mottling!  This plane is going to be wonderful.

[Brian da Basher]

Ohhh yhes, Allan! That camo scheme just keeps getting better and better! The mottling is a very nice touch and gives it nice subtle connection with its German heritage!

Great colour scheme and wonderful mottling.    And I'm impressed by the whole patient, step-by-step approach which I doubt that I could manage in the proverbial month of Sundays!

oh yes....the camo will make an eye catcher

I agree with all the last posts

Hi fellows,
Apologies for not posting for a while, but I've had airbrush woes that prevented me from doing any work on my Dornier for some time.
The problem has more or less cleared up and so I've done a little more work over the past few days; some progress has been achieved.
The color scheme is the same, but the camo pattern has changed just a little.
Photos in a day or two.
I'm well and so is the family. I'm coming up to my 5th anniversay (15 May) as a Whiffer.

I was only thinking the other day what had happened, as we had not heard from you in a while.

Can't wait for some more pics. I really like where you were going with this.

What airbrush was it by the way?

[Allan]

Thanks for the welcome back, fellows. The last time I posted about my 335 was way back in October of last year.
What happened is that the white bands didn't dry properly...they were sticky so I sanded them off and repainted them..sticky again...so I switched to acrylic only to find that the paint cracked after drying...back to enamel and this time more or less it was acceptable...still lots of touching up to do.
Then I was faced with overspray from the undersurfaces and had to redo some of the uppersurfaces...all of this required masking again and again which was truly frustrating..the truth is I suppose that I'm not a good spraypainter
Anyway here's what it looks like now...a little toylike I think but it may improve in appearance once I slap on some matt varnish and add some smoke stains..I've been working on this one for so long I think maybe I'll go with the kit nose and not try to be too cute fashioning a What If nose to take its place.
Notice also that the fuselage gun barrels are now short..that's what happens when you snap one off like a fool
Please tell me what you think..later I'll tell you about the air brush problems I had and other things.

Looks outstanding! I would have never know you had the set back if hadn't said so. Looking forward to the finish!

Welcome back!

Glad to learn this one will be finished, I wondered what happened to you and was afraid I somehow missed pictures of the finished model.

That's one far-out paint scheme!

Allan, glad to see you back in action! Glad you've got things under control again
