Outstanding quality with a very realistic weathered finish. You've also accomplished the impossible: perfectly symmetrical and straight aerials. How did you do it? Also, did you use pastel chalks to weather the aircraft? Thanks for sharing and I look forward to your next build!

Hello Hobo. Thank you.

I used photo etched in the aerials. Very careful handling is necessary. And a lot of patience. That's the tip.
About weathering, I used dot filtering. After the matte varnish, I applied some pigments with a dry brush.

 

Cheers!

Great work on the Dornier, I had to double check if it actually was 1:72!

Very nice model. I really like the finish. Where did you get the Owl radar set from. I need two sets for some current projects. Ok got them. 

Thank you so much Greg;

 

I bought this set in Modelimex.

I have a soft spot for German Night Fighters, thank you for showing us your work and you have made a very nice job of it; I will certainly think about getting some Owl aerials (assuming they do them in 1/48, will go and check them out now)

Thank you Pete J;

The OWL certainly has sets for 1/48. I recommend.

Beautiful Dornier Christian - lovely build quality and convincing colours. Nice to see a earlier night fighter that is not black! the radar is superb and really finishes the model off.

 

Cheers

Thank you Malcon;

 

I found this camouflage very interesting. It is unique and not black.

That is one beautiful Dornier! Outstanding finish and the aerials really set it off! Look like the ICM D0-17's and D0-215's are the class of the field in 1/72!

Thank you Mike!

Dornier series are my favorite war II flying machines.

Hi Cristian,

 

an impressive model, superbly built. The Owl FuG aerials are splendid and make a big difference on the final appearance.

Congratulations.

Excellent model!

[Dornier Do-215B5 ICM 1/72.]

Hi guys;

This is my 4° model finished this year.

This model is really good. Fine lines and very correct. About RLM's, I used a mix of Tamiya paints.
I riveted all model with a Dousek Riveter and I used OWL FUG 220 lichtenstein set.

Thank you for your attention!!

Cheers.

That's nice and very clean paintjob, but the bare metal engine color is painted in wrong areas top and bottom, check reference photos.

Thank you Drake122.

Yes, I made a big mess here with my references. My gosh ...
Thanks for the tip.

Thank you mate;

 

Dilution versus pressure in the airbrush is difficult. It's hard to find the ideal paint point.

I have experience with Tamiyas which are easier application.

[Su-27SM Zvezda 1/72]

Hi guys;

I finished this Zvezda 1/72 last December. I used Mig acrylics and Eduard PE set.
I really liked this kit, but I had difficulties with Mig paints.

 

Here some photos:
