Dragon 1/72nd Do 335B-4 Completed pics

Bish....can't get enough of your builds!  Smashing!  I am amazed at how detailed you get those little 1/72 figures!  I'm just going to send you mine to do!  Great work mate!  And the base!  Awesome!

+1 Bish , that thing looks pretty big even for 72nd scale, great job on the whole set up

Thanks a lot guys.

USMC, I was very surprised at how big this is, especially for a single seater. I of course had seen pics, but it wasn't until I had it with the figures that I fully appreciated the size. That one of the things I like about doing Dio's.

That's a very nice build. I like it. Thanks for posting.

Another gem, Bish.     I'm beginning to think there's no subject you can't build.  Plus, that extra touch with the bases you make really give that added perspective that goes a long way towards enhancing their appeal even to the most casual observer.  Nice work man!

Agree with everyone great job. And like Mike I too like the base, well done along with the model. Camo is well done too, doesn't look like a what-if camo scheme at all.

On a separate note, does this plane remind anybody else of a snakehead or is it just me?

Thanks guys. Mike, I am sure there are a few, and this is my normal comfort zone. I am now going from one end of WW2 to the other, my next aircraft is a Ju 87A.

Josiah, I think that's a trick with these sorts of scheme, giving it a new scheme without making it look like a what if. I try to do something different but still keep within the realms of possibility. Not sure I see the snake head there, but I guess everyone has there own perspective.

Great build!  That base looks fantastic!

Very nice build.

Thanks guys.

I have been doing this sort of base for quite a while now, so have them just how I like them now.

Your Do 335 is absolutely fantastic Bish. You did a splendid job on it. Your What if camo is very well done and brilliantly executed. Very realistic where it adds to the build rather detract from it. And as usual, your base and figures really add that "wow" touch to the overall build. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Joe, from one 72nd lover to another, thanks, much appreciated. I could not imagine doing a build without a base of some sort now.

Great build Bish! Keep up the good work.

Jim 

Love it. Great build.

Bish,

Just great.  What colors did you use for the splinter?

Thanks guys.

MAg, I used White Ensign paint on this one, RLM 77 all over with RLM 74 and 75 for the camoe. I usually use Xtracolour enamels, but they don't have a 77, so when for the WE paints.

Just what has come to be expected from you Bish.  Fine work indeed.

Beautiful! I just finished the SAME kit 5 months ago. I love the aircraft, but failed to realize I bought it in 1:72 scale. So much detail, it was a bear...but it turned-out great!

Love the camo scheme on yours. I did the good old Splinter Camo on mine.

Nice work man!

Marc, thanks. I try to be consistent if nothing else.

USAF, lucky for me, 72nd is my bread and butter. I think the only 48th kits are from Tamiya and Monogram. I do have all 5 of the Dragon 335 kits, so hopefully by the time I get to number 5, I will be able to deal with the issues in the kit. I have a bit of a thing for Luft 46 builds and prefer to do them as operational aircraft so try to come up with theoretical schemes but still keep it realistic.

Thanks for your comments, I would like to see some pics of yours.

Excellent job yet again, Bish!

Thanks rocker

Sweet looking Arrow Bish ,love that scheme!

Thanks Trey, it was real fun doing it and I really like the end result. The hard part is coming up with good schemes that are still realistic keeping in mind German colours and the schemes use at the end of the war.

Outstanding work again, Bish.  And the figures give it a sense of activity and purpose.  Nice job!

Beautiful job Bish!  Well done indeed sir.

I like that "what If" scheme. Looks great.

Thanks guys.

That's really great, Bish. I really like that scheme. End of the war, perhaps up towards the Baltics, etc.
