1929 Dornier DoX 1/144 scale
What a fun little vintage kit and unique subject matter! Fit and molding was very good for the mid 70's. This kit has been passed around from several different model companies over the years, most recently by Revell I think. This is the Entex version. The hardest part was the engines, filling all the seam lines and I was missing one of the 12 props, so I had to scratch build one. Connecting struts between the engines were too short so I had to make them from styrene in the correct length. All and all this took about 24 hours total.
I'd do this kit again, I just love flying boats, I need to find a China Clipper!
Well-done, Rick. A real beauty.
Thanks Bob!
You did all this in 24 hours, incredible, Rick @rickschad
The result is really awesome.
Thank you kindly John!
Rick, @rickschad, that is an exceptional build. You really have made it look a lot bigger and very real for such a small scale. I really like what you were able to accomplish.
Thank you Walt!
What a fantastic result, Rick!
Congratulations!
Thank you sir!
Something I haven’t seen since the ‘70s. Well done!
Cheers 😊
Nice build, Rick.
Thanks Gary!
Very cool - well done, Rick!
Thanks my friend!
Very cool. I did one of those many years ago, it's long gone now. Would love to have one in 1:48 or 1:72.
You need to do it again! Fun kit!
