cathasatail Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Good afternoon all! I recently went to the Cosford Cold War hangar 10 year anniversary and while there, I picked up a "Dogfight Doubles" set from Airfix. I stick to Cold War jets usuallyy so this was a step into the unknown. I think, however that they came out not to bad- in my opinion. Both aircraft were very enjoyable to construct and paint (for the first time in a long time I enjoyed this build right from the start right to the very end). So, let's get on with it: Kit: Airfix 1:72 "Dogfight Doubles" Dornier Do17z and Boulton Paul Defiant mk.1 Paints: Vallejo Model Air (most of the main camo colours were created by mixing) Weathering: UMP Dark Dirt wash (superb!), some AK washes for the tires and thinned black paint for the engine stains. Extras: Apart from a length of thread for the Dornier's aerial, all OOB. Conclusions: Well, thanks for having a look! Overall, excellent kits from Airfix, I can heartily recommend them Kind regards, Sam 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Excellent builds! Superbly done. I did not expect the Defiant to be such a big beast compared tot he Dornier. Great to see them side by side. JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 They both look great. Excellent, smooth paint finishes. I have the Defiant in the stash. Now I want the Dornier too! Britmodeller is going to bankrupt me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can recommend it highly, the interior detail and the choice of options for the bomb bay is quite extraordinary! Sam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
