1/32 HK DO-335 Finished

Post by Fermis »

Image

Got started on this monster, this week.
So far, so good. Parts are all nice and well detailed, and fit together well.
The kit provides cast weights for the nose. One is buried in the front engine and the other sits just behind the firewall (visible in pics).
Only a few additions to this kit...some wiring and plumbing for the engines. In the pit, I scratched the belts with tape (kit provides PE, but looks clunky and crappy), detailed the rear of the IP, and made new throttle levers.
I'm skipping the fuel tank (between pit and rear engine), as it won't be seen.

Man that is one beautifully detailed kit!

That is quite a change of pace from your usual 1/72 scale. These first pictures look great!

Sensational detail work Fermis! That is stunning! I never knew these things carried bombs. Way to go man, this will be fun to watch!

The Do 335 is so rad. I remember building the Monogram kit when I was a kid. Great work on the internals, Fermis! This is a very big bird no?

Yes, yes it is!
This one will be headed out to California, once complete.

Yes...and yes!
Just a tad shy of 18 inches, long and wide.


Gotten quite a ways with this one.
Fuselage buttoned up...fit wasn't great, but not too bad. Needed some putty in front of the windscreen.
The wings are several parts, and don't fit all that great. Unless I missed it, there is no part for the landing light. I made one out of a scrap 1/72 250lb bomb...I'll get a shot of that later.
Have done a little bit of "pre-painting", while painting another project.

One other modification.
The radiator(???...piece in the front cowling) is molded smooth/flat. Looking at some pics, it should have a "screen-like" appearance. I happened to have a little candy/goodie bag in my drawer. I saved it, from a wedding several years ago, thinking that it might come in handy for something someday! I cut the pieces and glued them down with diluted white glue(Elmers/water).

Image

...and...all the fiddly bits...

Image

Just about ready to get everything into the paint booth...but I ran myself out of black and white paint. Gotta wait for my order to show up.

Fabulous Fermis! I like how you made the radiator screen. I have tried that once but saturated the gauze with glue. Your attempt looks as an example of it should be done.
