Sorry to hear about the poor engineers stress levels !

The Mig is looking good. I like the little dio. The group shots are nice as well. Always a treat to see related a/c together to get a feel for their size, commonality differences etc.

Returning to the Do 218, the big issue now is the landing gear. Every time, the right one collapses. If this would be a Ju 290 I would say this is normal, as they had many right landing gear problems, but hey, this is a Dornier.

So the latest attempt to fix it looks like this:

I asked my engineer and he thought that adding a stronger folding mechanism to the gears might help. So lets see if he is right.

Me to. It really sets the model off nicely

As for stress the engineer seems to be nice and relaxed to me

Before NöNö Bärs Flugwerft will close its doors for this year, my engineer was finally successful and the Do 218 is now standing on its own wheels. All guns, cockpit windows etc are added, it is now waiting for a cover of finish, decals and the final finish all over.

My engineer - btw his name is Scratch Bear - has prepared the tree and is relaxing for the rest of the year so he can help me again next year, with new projects to come.

So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

That looks better with every new pic, terrific work. By both of you............

Back from the winter vacation, my engineer and I are in the final works of the Do 218....

Decals, engine exhaust traces are done, only a few little things to do until the Dornier bomber is completed.

I just hope that the cockpit windows are ok when I remove the masking tape there...

This gets better and better

Fabulous !

I must admit that apart from liking this model and the camo scheme I keep expecting to pick up my copy of Luftwaffe Secret Projects and finding it in there. It looks so right

Captain Canada · January 13, 2015, 04:45:18 AM

It sure does Chris !

To use a gym meme, it kinda looks like a Lancaster that forgot to do leg day

Love it. I hope the canopy masking comes off good as well.....no delays now !

Well, the masking is now removed and looks ok - but I wonder what happend to the little antenna on the front nose that was still there last year. Somehow it disappeared. So this has to be fixed with a spare part and then its done.... at least I hope so

Blame the engineer

Now that the Do 218 has been completed, time to start something new.

This time, it should be something with less putty and sanding, so here is the start of it:

Nice work so far. The giant waffle maker in the back seat will come in handy on those long morning flights
