JWM Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Hi, Today I was detailing Douglas DT 2 C (Norway, 1940) The DT 2 C had slots which were not present in DWC. I added them of scratch I 've just learnt how paste photos now from Flickr The Norwegian markings are painted except blue strip on tail and on slots. They will be trimmed when dry Exhaust collectors I made from scratch On last photo oil cooler is seen. It is also here: I made it using nylonthread 0.15 mm wrapped around some piece of wood, glued with CA together. I hope it looks OK. The new method of inserting photos is described by NavyBird post #74 here Best regards Jerzy-Wojtek Edited December 20, 2017 by JWM New method of paste photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Good job on the Norwegian markings and the radiator! The aircraft is looking very good! Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) Douglas DT 2 is almost finished. I made some detailing, applied decals "84" and cover with matt varnish. I have chosen "84" since this particular machine survived attack on 9.04.1940 and even got later to German hands, so it was last existing DT 2 I think. So current look is following: I hope to go with her to gallery after some small corrections. The weathering is very moderate,since photos shows the real thing in a very good condition. However, perhaps I will have to wait for Saturday for a day-light to do photos of finished model. BTW - only anchor is still missing - I've just painted it. There is still third machine declared in this GB by me. I hope to finish Hoever MF 11 before 7th Jan. Still there is a hope for it.

pheonix Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Another superb build there Jerzy. I really do like the way that you turn these rather basic kits into very interesting, first class models with such high levels of detail.

JWM Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hi, Mrs JWM is preparing Christmas Eve dinner so I've hidden in my hobby room and made some work on Hoever MF 11- the last of trio planned to build in this GB by me. I glued struts for floats and made some detailing around tail. DO not worry about blue strip - I just made background colour, this strip will be a decal. To be cont.
