Jeddahbill Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Greetings! Although an older tool from the 1970's, it still has potential to build into a nice model. Mostly out of the box with decals from Aero Master for aircraft flown by Hagen Foster in Spring 1945. After completion, I noticed a few gaps in the canopy fit! Many thanks for having a look. Questions and comments are most welcome. Bill 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 A nice tidy job on that, you've done well with those stencils, they surely add to the end result, as does your mottling. Brush or airbrush? Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapam Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Very nicely done. You have proven that kits of this vintage aren't always throwaways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Lovely build.. You got that spinner spot on... The tiny canopy gap easily rectified. Mottling very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeddahbill Posted April 24, 2018 Author Share Posted April 24, 2018 Thanks everyone for the comments! The mottling was done with very thin paints applied with a very small piece of sponge foam. Bill 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAAMAN Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Another excellent build of an "old" Airfix kit. Great finish, very well done indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convair Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Very cool model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Excellent job on the Dora! I didn't realise (or remember, most likely) that Airfix had done one of these. Then Airfix have been around so long they've kitted most of the 'usual suspects' in terms of WWII subjects, at least regarding fighters (yes, I know, but what about the Farley Superfruitbat HF.VIIIIII...).
