1/18th DB 605 engine.

Post by Bish »

I thought I would post some pics of this build I have been working on since Jan and have just completed.. The kit is from HPH and is mostly resin with a small PE fret and all the wire needed for the piping and wiring. Its a really nice kit and I certainly plan on getting one of the other engines they do.

I mainly used enamel paints, both Humbrol and Xtracolour, but also Alcad in a couple of the NMF pieces.

The stand is also from HPH but come separately.

Thanks for looking.

that is a beauty.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Since you showed it in the "latest acquesition"-thread I was eager to see you building it. Very cool subject, splendid execution. Have nothing more to add.

I also could not resist getting this kit and the stand. Had some looks over all the parts and will tackle it some day. Your build will for sure be on my screen, me taking notes of your really good looking Daimler-Benz!
