Regarding the missing cockpit window, I finally found another of those kits on ebay, so I hope it will arrive this week.

Unless then, the first layer of primer is put on the model to see there additional sanding work is requires. Luckiely there are only a few spots to work on.

Finally, today my ebay delivery arrived with a "new" Dornier 217 kit. And with some cockpit windows.

My best engineer started to check the parts and according to him, I can use the front window of this kit. It is the right one.

So I now can prepare the plane for painting.

Waiting for third color.....

To be continued.....

The third color (light gray) has now been added ans masking for the next one has been added:

The exciting moment is always when you remove all the masking and see if it has worked as expected....

And if and when it has worked a huge sigh of relief

And not only once, the first reaction after removing all masking was "Oh s****"....

Lets hope that it better this time.

So, the fourth color is on (dark green), the next masking is on and it is waiting for the last camo color

It's Tamiya Masking Tape, you get it in different sizes, right now I have 6mm, 10mm and 18mm ones. Not the cheapest stuff, but quite good. And so far, I had no problems with removing the masking and remove the paint under it as well. You should get this on Ebay or Amazon in the UK (oar anywhere else)

Interesting and quite an attractive looking aircraft. How about a more developed version using a pair of Italeri Do 217K or M with the long span wings?

One other point. It really needs larger fins.
