contenders this time. Here I will be concentrating on the Dornier first, and then will progress to the Boston if time
permits afterwards.
I had intended to do the British scheme, but as the paint plan shows the German RLM colours it will give me a chance to
try out the Humbrol RLM acrylics I have just brought, namely RLM 74, 75 and 76 for this scheme (and RLM 66 for the interior).
I got home from work early today and began work on the Dornier. The props, like most of the parts, have seam lines that
need tidying up. These spinners will lose the prop blades soon as this model will be posed on the Sky Base with a couple of
home made acetate prop blurs added.
All that needs fitting inside are the two seats, and the cockpit floor, which has some nice wheel well detail, but this won't be
seen as she will be wheels up as I've said.
I am really enjoying this kit, it is flying together.
Holes in the wings had to be opened up for the antennae array for the version I am doing.
I am using an old tube of Humbrol glue, one advantage of which is it is rather gloopy but does bind very quickly. A few hours
work and she is already mounted on the SkyBase, sans prop blades as promised.
No way these parts (intakes and exhaust) can go on like that. Out with the mini drill bits and pin vice.
Canopies just posed in place, not glued yet. First job tomorrow will be a coat or two of primer. Loving this kit!!!
Cheers
Al.
