Do335 1:48 Tamiya - Finished
Posted by Kien on Sunday, January 28, 2018 5:50 PM

Hello,

I just finished a Tamiya Dornier 335 in 1:48 scale, this was a great kit... and I'm sure I'll be making more 1:48 instead of 1:72. The model was built strictly OOB, with only seatbelts added with putty. The model was painted with tamiya acrylics. I made a mistake on the camo... the colors are inverted. The tamiya paint chart is a bit off and shows the rlm 81 braunviolet as a very green color, so when I went to airbrush, I painted the green color where the braunviolet was supposed to be. I didn't feel like repainting the whole thing, I got over the mistake. Anyways, the model was masked with eduard canopy masks and then weathered with only oil paints. I wanted to test the versatility of oil paints and see all the things I could do with them, I used abteilung 502. I made a black/brown wash of thinned down oil paint and started weathering with that. Then I used some dark brown oil paint to brush and blend along the panel lines, it stands out more on the underside. Lastly, a silver prismacolor pencil for light chipping on the bomb, propellers, and leading edges of the wings. 

Thanks for looking, 

Kien

That's a beautifully built model. I see no flaws and I wouldn't have known about the reverse camo had you not mentioned it.  Good work Mate  Yes

Thats very nicely done, the camo has come out very well even with it being reversed.

Thanks for the all the comments. I have been trying out new techniques and building kits in a “trial and error“ way. I feel this way I’m not as worried to mess up a model, and it has really brought on new skills and ideas.

Crown Rn7:  I saw your Do335 on the ”last three builds” thread, it looks great. I think you got the rlm81 spot on.

I definitely wouldn't have noticed the paint variations.  The splinter camo still looks fantastic.  The underside really looks great too! Beer

One of my all-time favorite Luftwaffe aircraft. Excellent work on a fantastic kit. I built this one years and years ago, but your example is much better. I love the streaking you achieved with the oils. I may need to work on that technique myself. 

Thanks for sharing this!

Oils are surely something you should try out. Many affects you can do with them, I did the streaking without thinner, just have a little on the brush and streak. You can use abt 502 oils, or Windsor newton artist oils as well. I use the abt 502.
