Winenut Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Well folks....here it finally is. If anyone has followed the WIP you'll know how ridiculous this build has been! Things I tried.. Freehand camo RLM colours from Testors Aftermarket decals (spinner spiral OMG!) Metal tubing to replace the plastic guns I am really thankful for the kind and supportive suggestions during the WIP from many many contributors... Even if sometimes the support was just comedic relief! LOL So here you go ... Not perfect ...the spinner spiral does not belong on the build but it was the last of four attempts available on the decal sheet! Stuffed the angle on the internal canopy back plate thingy......should slope forward with the canopy in the closed position Couple of marks on the model have shown up on the images but I'll clean those up no big deal so....I present the Dopey Dora!!! spinner spiral number 4 finally worked Cheers!

Eric Mc Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks nice and neat - and the spiral looks OK. I still haven't mastered spirals yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Heath Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looks good and well done on cracking the spinner in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It sure looks great! I built this kit years ago shortly after I first came out. Then I was real pleased with the result, and I believe it is still not a bad model. Shame we all become more demanding and finicky! But you still did a good job out of it, and that's what count.

Hamden Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Stunning finish, spiral looks spot on - a hard act to follow Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Great result and for all it fought you, the spinner looks the business now! PS - I'm not convinced this is the weirdest Italeri though.....Have you seen their 1/72 Bf.109-F? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdrianMF Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It looks great. I think the camo is fab and the spiral is spot on. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 That glow you're feeling is the satisfaction at having conquered a difficult kit and learning some new things along the way. Isn't it great how a nasty model can turn out looking so good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmouredSprue Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Job well done mate! The spiral decal is perfect. I think this model was a challenge for you but it made you to learn new techniques along the way. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Thanks heaps to everyone for all the very kind comments. Really learnt a lot on this build particularly from the suggestions and advice received during the WIP and the critique was really appreciated. I've ended up very happy with what I thought was the strangest kit ever and the Dora in it's livery looks quite different and distinct in the collection. Now to crack on and finish the B&V 141 and then.....ummmm......... Chocks away! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Congratulations Bruce Little Kylie / Pat will be very proud of you when they arrive ! Quick question why didn't you use this particular decal for the spiral first then you would have 3 spare ones....... Cheers Mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
