Very nice Joe! =]  What's next for you?  If I recall correctly, you mentioned you had another commisioned build coming?

 

Thanks everyone.  You are all very kind.

Britt, indeed I do, I just started the Revell 1/32nd scale Bf109 G-6 with a pantsload of extras.  This will be my first 1/32 scale kit......oh the pressure!  I'll start a thread soon. 

This is insanely good. I love it. Another great job! I was droolingover it in my email update at work.

Fabulous job, Joe, she's a beauty!

Joe,

Your Do-335 looks amazing.  Looks like you knocked another one out of the park, thanks for sharing.

You did an astounding job on the build, especially the paint scheme!

OUTSTANDING JOB JOE! It looks wonderful

Thanks for the compliment, but I'm an average modeler with a few tricks.......that's all.

 

You are way .....way too humble Joe. Your build looks really good. Great paint and weathering.

Joe that is one of the best Do335 I've ever scene,excellent paint and weathering . Very nicely done Sir!

Beautiful job! I love the paint, weathering, diorama, ... the whole shebang.

Someday, when I grow up, I want to be able to build a 1/48 scale WWII aircraft with half the craftsmanship that your model displays.

She's a real beauty, Joe.

Thanks for posting this WIP, this aircraft caught my eye a couple years back (hadn't known it existed) and it is great fun to be able to see yours from start to finish.

Splinter schemes are sort of boring (at least mine have been so far!!), but the way you've done this with the pre and post and streaking and shading made the splinter scheme come to life like I've never seen before.

Well done.

Beautifully done lawdog ..love the base too , thinking getting the 1/32 version. .saving for it now .

Joe - She's a dandy, mighty fine job you made of it. Thanks for the post and photos, interesting thing that airplane was. Have to wonder just how it may have performed if it saw service, but glad it didn't.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Mighty fine work, Joe. You really inspire me to do better.

Looks really nice Joe! 

      That is just beautiful.  I'm glad you put a figure next to the plane to show just how big it is.  Thank you for sharing.  It was a fun wip.  Has anyone every mentioned that you are a very talented modeler

                                                                                                           go

Nice work! Paintwork looks subtle and to scale. Well done!

Kind regards-

She's a beauty.  Glad to hear the decals are of a decent quality.  I was about to order a set of aftermarket decals for my 335 but I think I'll save my money for another endeavor.

Thanks all, I finished her up the other night and I'm pretty happy with it.  To recap, its the B-2 heavily armed version with a pair of MK. 103 cannons in the wings.  They made two, that being V-13 and V-14.  I built V-14 whose markings were one of the kit options.  I added PE seatbelts and Quickboost exhausts.  I ended up tossing the True Details wheels and I used the kit wheels, which just looked better to me.  I gambled and used the kit decals.  Surprisingly they behaved beautifully.  Maybe Tamiya has been given a bad rap and their newer stuff is better.  I didn't chance the large lower crosses however and decided to replace them with an old Me 110 sheet I had.

Thanks for following.....comments are welcome.

Lawdog,

Looking superb.  I do like the subtle effects that the streaking gives your finish.  Will have to try that sometime soon.

Thanks for sharing.

Greta job on the scheme there. Nice to see Gunze are another compan that have not switched to the green RLM 81. I do like that brown version.
