A brave man! You don't see many Mach 2 kits completed, yours certainly looks nice!
Thanks jeff!
It really is the most elegant design of all of Claude Dornier’s hydroplanes. I don’t recall ever seeing one model made until now, bravo Spiros!
Such a lovely design indeed. Its rear engines would even tilt 10 degrees up during takeoff to avoid contact with water spray, can you imagine? Thanks for your supportive comments!
I've never seen one of these before. You did an excellent job on it!
Thank you very much Robert!
A great build! Nice looking aircraft.
Thanks a lot Robert!
Looks great! Is a very sleek-looking aircraft.
Thank you Greg!
That is a beautiful looking aircraft. Well done Sir
Cheers,
Alistair
Thank you very much Alistair!
Wow you finished a Mach 2 kit ! that in itself is an achievement and to make such a good job as well , great job.
Thanks a lot Neil!
Apart from the turret on the nose, this is one sleek bird! Never heard of it. I like how the Germans had the floats retract into the wings. Thought it was just Blom&Voss, but it is present here too! (The floats on the Saunders Roe SR.A/1 were pretty trick as well.) Great result for your efforts!
This type of floats was a first for Dornier. Their other designs typically - and famously
"The Mach 2 kit took some effort..." Ha ha - understatement of the year!
Really nice result and congratulations on defeating this kit's best efforts to stymie you.
It was some experience...Nothing seemed to fit! The surfaces were rough, sort of orange peel feeling. The transparencies were foggyish and so on. Yet, for a mysterious yet understandable reason this kit was begging me to build it. Thank you very much Tom! I'm glad you liked it.
Great work on the Mach2 kit Spiros, I know what they are like 🙁
The Do26 was indeed a beautiful flying boat, although I think it looked even better in its civilian Lufthansa colours 🙂
Totally agree with you Peter. Indeed in its civilian markings it looked even better and I should have done it like this...I cannot say I wiil easily do another in the future, I think one Mach2 Do-26 is enough...
Thanks for your comments!
Great build and scratch addition, Spiros. Keep 'em coming mate!
Thanks Michel!
