First pictures of the new Do-335 projects: Dragon's moulds are clearly not quite up to date, but with a little improvisation and Eduard harnesses at least an improvement can be achieved. The accuracy of fit is rather mediocre so far, but the construction seems uncomplicated.

Watching with pleasure, of course!

Very fine!
Wings - including the extensions for the reconnaissance version - I was able to assemble today, photos will follow!

Let me ask you a question, Roland. Did you use thick CA glue all over the front of the fuselage?

Sebastian Meyner
Oh wow 🙂 One of my (...two) absolute favorite planes 👍 Following!!!

Thank you very much, Robert and Sebastian! That´s fine!
Exactly: I use CA KLeber not only for gluing, but here mainly as a "filler". When cured, it can be excellently sanded.

Here are a few pictures of the current state of construction, showing among other things the enlarged span of the reconnaissance version. A small operation, well prepared from the kit parts, has made it possible....

Thanks for your answer, Roland. I sometimes use thick CA as a filler too... with longer wings it looks more elegant IMHO 😉

With pleasure Robert! Yes, I think so too; next week I want to start with two Do-335B from Tamiya, that will be a nice comparison, I think.

A short time-lapse: priming and then the application of Gunze H69/ RLM 75 (not shown here) for the planned stains provided the basis for the more elaborate but also fun part: the production of holes. What looks like a two-dimensional model of a Swiss cheese here is the remnant of two days of masking the intended stains. Now I'm looking forward to the result after applying Gunze H 417/ RLM 76!

Nice work Roland. Looking forward to seeing how the camouflage turns out 👍

Looking very good so far Roland 👍 I rember cutting my teeth on the original kit....not my fondest memories 😉

This looks intriguing! I am super curious how this camo will look, it certainly makes you work for it!

Thank you mates, these words motivates a lot! Just have applied the RLM 76 coat, tomorrows de-masking will show, if it did work.

Looking really good. 👍

Respekt für Foto Nummer 10 - top ! Denn masking sheets kaufen kann jeder.

Da hast Du wohl recht 🙂 Danke!

This is how the Do 335C currently looks. Tomorrow I want to seal the decals - she will be a bit shinier in the short term - and then discreetly but nevertheless apply exhaust and usage traces. I hope that the surfaces will no longer look so "artificial"! 🙂

You managed to get the camo pattern very crisp and precise even around edges and corners. Decals are great too. Starting to look really superb.

Thank you for your words!

Finally: at the finish! This project was really fun, especially the experiments with the spot camouflage. It worked well on the Yugoslavian Bf 109, and in a slightly different scale it also looks passable in 72 scale. The radio antenna and the Pitot tube were added in metal - both were not in the kit - the unfolded ladder was included in the kit as a small, fine etched part. I hope you like the pictures; now to the two "big" Tamiya-Do 335!
