1/32 Z-M Do-335 Progress Report

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 [...]

It’s Official!

It's official. I just heard from the National Air and Space Museum and they have formally accepted my Ho-229 into the museum. It will be on display at the Udvar-Hazy Center at Dulles Airport. I just have to get it to them in one piece. I [...]

Quick Update 1/32 Z-M Do-335

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 [...]

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 [...]

Painting the 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335

Well, it has finally begun. I started painting this beast. The Germans built less than 40 of these things so there's not a whole lot of variation in colors. Several were captured at the end of the war and taken to the U.S., Britain and I [...]

1/32 Z-M Do-335 Progress Report

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. [...]

More Do-335 Madness

Some progress on the 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335. Encountered a few problems that arose from the brittle nature of the clear plastic. One of the wing fillets cracked and broke off in two places and had to be repaired. The landing gear is [...]

The 1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335 Rear Oil Cooler Assembly

Hello every one. I finished this part of the kit last night and I would almost consider another lit kit all by itself and it seems like every sub-assembly in this kit is a mini kit. I kinda went nuts weathering it, but most of it won't be [...]

1/32 Zoukei-Mura Do-335

The never-ending saga of the Zoukei-Mura Do-335 continues. There are a lot of parts to this thing. The instructions for the engines alone are 13 pages long! The cockpit and engines are finally done and the level of detai is tremendous. [...]

The 1/32 Z-M Do-335 Forward Engine is Done

I finally got around to at least finishing off the forward engine of this beast. There are a ton of parts on these little gems. This is one of the best non-resin engines ou there. The block was painted using a variety Mission Models [...]
