airbus320 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Good Afternoon folks! Here is my first ever Luftwaffe subject! Always had a spot for the long-nosed Dora so decided to have a crack at the Hobbyboss kit that I picked up in Seoul for £12! Its a beauty and even comes with photoetched parts. I added some seatbelts and the old-style canopy from the Eduard kit. Paints by Mr Hobby and Xtracrylix, decals by SkyModels. The colour scheme may be inaccurate, I used an old article in a Luftwaffe modelling guide which I later found out contradicts Jerry Crandall's research. There is a good chance that it should be 'Black 11' and the RV band should be black and white too. Oh well! I like the JG2 markings Apologies for the depth of field issues with the photos, I took these outside and its nearly 50 degrees. It was a race to see if the model or I would melt first and as the flat coat started to get tacky after about 30 seconds there was no way I was going back out there to take more!!! Thanks for looking, Chris Edited July 5, 2017 by airbus320 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Chris, A very nice Dora! Was not familiar with the HB kit, but it looks like they did a decent job with it. I really liked your understated weathering and panel line work! What's next? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbus320 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Thanks for the positive comments Next up is a Gloster Gladiator but after that I fancy a desert marked JG53 Bf109. I do have a soft spot for desert markings! Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well! I like the JG2 markings Chris Sounds like an early researcher mistaking black markings for yellow ones being affected by ortho film. Really, really nice Dora, too, the subtle & understated way you've weathered it is wonderfully well done to my eye. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
