This is my first completed build of the 2010 season. Monorgam's Dornier Do335 Arrow in 1/48.
Like all the "old school" Monogram kits, this one was a fun build. I chose to do it in the V-10 Night Fighter variant.
The paint work is as follows: The underside is PollyScale RLM65 Light Blue acrylic, the main color on the upper surface is PS Dark Ghost Grey acrylic, both applied with a Testors 1x6mm flat brush, a very effective little tool for covering large areas. The "camo" is PS Dark Gull Gret acrylic applied in a straight down tap with a 3/8 flat brush moving randomly back and forth the surfaces.
The engines are molded into the left fuselage half, not separate assemblies. It took 4 7gram wheel weights in the nose for it to sit right on the front wheel.
I was somewhat worried about the decals because of the age of the kit, but other than requiring a bit extended time in the water dish, they actually went on OK.
The two crew figures were included in the kit, a fine little touch that Monogram always provided "back in the day".
The base is one that you see on the model aisle at Hobby Lobby, IMEX model #2514 which works well for 1/48 and 1/72 aeroplanes as well as 1/35 armor.
Thank you for looking.
Regards, PWB.
