The 2017/ 2018 Too Little Too Late Group Build

Hi Nick, that is a really great looking build, and nice clear photos too. 

regards,

Jack

OK now that’s a nice build! The final paint is outstanding and weathering is nice and subtle. A job well done!

The DO-335A is complete  fun kit tricky landing gear.

Thank you taxtp almost done some odds and ends to do

Your camo looks outstanding Nick.

Cheers

Tony

thank you rooster513 here are updated pics with clear flat and very weak landing gear.

Thanks Andy.

Thanks Smeosky, and thanks for the heads up. I'll be getting to adding the upper win soon so will look out for that.

Crown - those decals are looking good!

Bish - loving that pit. The seatbelts look perfect!

Chad - great job with the primer. Looking forward to seeing paint go down!

Looking good, Bish. I am a little further along than you on the Hase Dora. I don't want to cast any gloomy shadows but my fun seemed to end once I joined the wings to the fuselage. The fit was pretty crummy and i've spent the better part of a month filling and sanding everything in and the rescribing. I won't get into the noodling I committed to re scribing. Nevertheless I am out of the woods and primed it yesterday (ill send current photo soon). Looking forward to seeing yours witht he gun bays visible!

Thanks Nick.

I amliking that 335, really nicely done with the wash.

mopar madness that 262 is looking good . Is that vallejo liquid mask gooey? and bish nice work on that 190 pit . I finish pin wash on the 335 but used decals for the harness dosent look as good as your 190 but some day I'll use after market suff. 

Cheers Tony.

I was admiring the harnesses too, then saw that everyone else was as well. Nice work Bish.

Cheers

Tony

MM, the belts are as they come. They are fiddly to put together, but i think worth it.

Really liking how that 262 is coming along.

Bish - I love those belts. Did you have to apply anything to acheive that look or were they installed as-is?

Crown - Love the camo on your 335.

A quick 262 update.  All glass has been masked with Tamiya tape and Vallejo liquid mask. It’s been primered and the bits painted.  She’s ready for final paint.

Been able to get quite a bit done on the 190 since my last update. Got the pit finished off, includeing HGW seat belts. I removed the back piece as i decided to fit the pit after the fuselage halves were together and this was easier without it. Also missing is the throttle which kept coming off so i'll ad that after the pit is fitted.

And with the fuselage together and pit in, the lower wings and tail were added. The wings took some work to get in place but fit nicely. The join between the tail and fuselage did need some filler.

The upper wings have been left off until the wing guns have been fitted. I had hoped i could do this later, but they won't go in with the uper wings fitted without some contortions and i didn't want to risk breaking them.

Thanks for looking, more to follow.

GREAT WORK Theuns and Crown!!! Lovin' your guys work!!

Very nice clean paintwork on the 335 :-)

Theuns

nice work Theuns . finished up with decals some setting time then weathering

For the fuel lines I could not find thin enough solreswire so I used some silver coloured streched sprue. Gives a nice coroded /weatherd alluminium look .

Theuns

Wow, nice job on recreating those fuel lines!

Ta, the headrest looked to "plastic" so I stained it with watercolours to look like leather.

Theuns

Thuens that engine looks nice! Like what you did with the headrest too!

Glad that worked out for you.  Was hesitant to suggest anything other than water because some people dip their canopies in clear acrylic.

regards,

Jack

Actually, Jack, I used a q-tip soaked with isopropyl alcohol, and that worked really well.
