The Dornier Do 26 was a mail & passenger flying boat produced before WWII by Dornier Flugzeugwerk. It was operated by a crew of four and was intended for the Lisbon to New York route. This is the Amodel 1/72 kit released in 2014. The kit ov[...]

Hi all, this is my first article on your web. It´s about the Do335 Tamiya 1/48. I bought this kit in Kyoto, Japan, some 12 years ago... It was a new challenge for me as I used lots of new techniques I never used before as oil washes, pre shadin[...]

Just shot these new photos of my Do-335. I wasn't very happy with the first series I shot. I also made some slight mods to the finished model. I wasn't happy with the positioning of the landing gear and performed a little surgery on that area to[...]

The 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335 Pfeil is finally finished!

Man, this beast took over four moths to build. I worked on it at least 3 hours a night missing only about a week's time. It required a considerable amount of effort with lots of parts and an over-abundance of detail- much of it lost when I decid[...]

I added the decals to my 1/32 D0-335, then sprayed MMP Matte Clear. I let that dry, then painted over the German insignias witha a mixture of MMP Transparent Medium mixed (maybe 20 drops) with a couple of drops of black to simulate the semi-tran[...]

Here's my 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335. Progress has been slow because there are so many damn parts. It looks more weathered than most 335's because this one was captured by the allies and shipped back to the US for testing. It will have all the Germ[...]

I appreciate every one's comments on my previous post. I started chipping the paint last night- a rather tedious, but oddly relaxing endeavor. I may have over-done it in some spots so I'll probably go over them with a light airbrushing to tone t[...]

I just painted the Braunviolet areas on my 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335 Pfeil this afternoon. I used Mission Models paints on top of AK interactive Xtreme Metals. Adherence of the MMP was really good even on top of hairspray treated ares. A couple of[...]

The Zoukei-mura 1/32 Do-335. This is becoming one of those frustrating projects that neer seems to end. Other than the clear plastic everything- well not really everything, but it seemed that way at times- the kit went together well. There's jus[...]

This year's 50th birthday, I got this impressive model from a friend. The great enthusiasm was soon to be replaced by sobering. The model will just come in such a hurry. HKM could give more. Everything is designed so that everything is open, but[...]
