modelling minion Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Hi all here are some pics of my latest project, it's ICM's lovely 1/48 Dornier DO-17Z built and painted as a DO-17z-3 of the Ilmavoimatt (Finnish Air Force) and finished in a temporary Winter scheme. I thoroughly enjoyed this build and found the kit to have the right mix of detail and ease of build and can highly recommend it and also the decals by SBS Models which are superb. Anyway here are the pictures; If any of you haven't been along to the Radial Engines Rock GB (which I built this for) then I recommend popping along and having a look at the cracking models in the gallery and those still in wip, there are some great ones to look at. And if you like the colour scheme (and who wouldn't!) there is a Winter War GB proposed which I suggest you have a look at and sign up for. Here is a link to the build of her; Thanks for looking, and as usual all comments and criticisms are gratefully received. Craig. 68 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josip Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'll stay with 1:72, but will definitely buy the ICM kit because I prefer it to Airfix. Its an impresive model. Its also nice to see machine guns in proper thickness for the scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Josip, the guns are very good, the only problem with them is that they don't fit through the openings in the glazing so I had to cut the barrels off and glue them back on afterwards. 1 hour ago, SimonT said: Great job, thoroughly enjoyed your WiP too.

spruecutter Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Nice one Craig - really well done. Great paintwork and canopy masking. It should attract a lot of attention at Telford in a few week's time. Cheers Richard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
