Dornier Do 26 V2

Roland Sachsenhofer
This kit took a shortcut to my workbench; I had to get and to build this attractive seaplane from the first moment I had the change to buy one of the Amodel kits.
I really hope I will do justice to the beautiful forms of this plane, because the kit seems to be rather tricky. Fit of the parts is clearly below average, even knowing this is a shortrun kit. As an example all the fuselage windows had to be adjusted with knife and sanding paper to fit into the openings- rather challenging work.
The seats have been outfitted with seatbelts made of Tamiya tape and some wiring on the cockpit sidewalls have been done. I did not put all too much ambition into that becaus there will be not all too much be seen inside the assembled fuselage.
I am looking forward to assemble the fuselage of the "Seefalke"...!

Hallo, sei mir willkommen! Diesmal wird für das viele Geld wirklich was geboten... jede Menge Schnitzerei und heftiges Improvisieren garantiert.

Christian Ristits
Sieht ja schon mal ganz gut aus, viel Spaß beim weiteren Basteln!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Danke Dir, das geplante Endprodukt sollte einen gewissen Aufwand wert sein.

Da bin ich sehr gespannt, das schaue ich mir an! 🙂

Great looking interior! Is that scratchbuilt or kit supplied? Very interesting looking aircraft.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Thank you Gordon! Besides the seat-belts, the map and instruments on the navigators table, everything could be found in the kit.
The kit provides some tricky fitting issues too... Nearly no part was fitting properly. That´s a notably problem with the two strakes on the fuselages top, I will have to rebuild them because of the necessary excessive filling and sanding work.
I hope I am able to save the day for that unlovely kit of an really lovely aircraft 🙂

You mean Fürstfeldenbruck in March?

Roland Sachsenhofer
You are right! Just did not remember the correct name... 🙂

Soeren R.
Hehe nice 🙂 I enjoyed your kits the last time you were here near Munich - think it was in August?! Hopefully I see you then in FFB😉

Roland Sachsenhofer
Oh, Erding in October! 🙂
Would be nice to see you again in March!

Hej Roland! Ein echter Exot, den du dir da ausgesucht hast. So wie es aussieht wird das eine Füll,- und Schleiforgie, noch schlimmer als bei Shinmeiwa. Schaue Dir gespannt zu.

Soeren R.
Yeah I meant Erding😉 Didnt no the month anymore*g*
Really enjoyed your Japan aircrafts there 🙂 And yeah it would!
