Tamiya 1/48 Dornier 335 "Whiffer" Nachtjager late 1945


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Normally I build in 1/144 scale so doing something in 48 scale is like normal people doing something in 1/16th!!!! :)

This one is OOB with the exception of an OWL SN2 resin radar aerial set for the Ju88. - It's a 'what if' - if they had of gone into service they would have troubled even the mighty mossie.....

Thanks for looking .... she is just about done.

Hi Shan,

Gunze acrylics RLM 75 thinned with lacquer thinners and lightened with a little gunze acrylic off white as the base coat. The squiggle pattern is gunze acrylic RLM 76 thinned with lacquer

thinners to a rough skim milk consistency. This was shot through an Aztek A470 tan tip airbrush at about 12PSI. I admit it took 4 goes to get it right so there was some colourful language

each time I got splodges, spider legs, or a little dose of the runs. I really wanted to push the envelope of what a) I could do and b, what the aztek airbrush is theoretically capable of doing. The pattern is just a lot of tight "s" and figure 8's. Here are a couple of close ups. :)

Hope this helps - Ian

Superb build, and one hell of an excellent finish.

I am a coward when it comes to german camouflage, I have built a few but I was never happy with the outcome. Needless to say, they are at the back of the display cabinets for obvious reasons!!

Super build and my favorite topic (Nightfighters).

talking about the Do 335 I just also finished the Do 335 nightfighter based on the two seater trainerkit from Tamiya.

I hope to be able to add some pictures on this forum.

Thanks for sharing
