Stuck Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hi there, Here is my latest offering, now before any of you boffs notice, i will hold my hands in the air and admit that i have made a massive boo boo which i did not notice until i had finished the paint job , but best not to mention it and leave it for you to find, perhaps i might just get away with it It was my first attempt at an Alclad finish,on any scale,I may have learnt from my mistake that maybe I was spraying at a too high pressure. Anyway barring the mistakes i do hope you like it. thanks for looking. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I like it a lot. Have no idea what to look for regarding the paint so.... I just love it;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jean Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) This is beautifully done. If there are any mistake, they cannot be that bad (the landing light looks a bit "white", but that's all I can notice.). Just forget about them, as it is likely nobody will notice! Great job.

Airfixer Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Maybe it's time to have my eyesight tested... I'm so sorry, but your Dornier looks pretty much like a Spanish Do 24T-3 in its corrosion-protective semi-matte alu coating. At least from my point of view you did her justice. The entire ensemble looks spot-on to me. Just in case I may be able to subsequently track down any major flaws: my lips are sealed! I really like your Dornier "as is".

Stuck Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well thankyou for your kind remarks, but i thought the error would have been spotted strait away, so i better come clean, The exhausts are on the wrong way round Must have had one too many when i did that step.

Spitfire31 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I have soft spot for flying boats, straddling the two elements, as it were.Your Dornier looks downright elegant and the markings make a nice change from the Teutonic crosses. Very enjoyable model! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have just been following a thread on chat about the quality of Italieri kits, well any of you who are interested in making this model, i can assure you that the fit of the parts is as good as anything else i have made. i did have a bit of a headache about how to go about fitting the wings, in the end I decided to glue the outer struts to the fuselage and the central to the wings lightly spot gluing the other ends to line it all up, then taking the 2 components apart to do the painting and finishing. Because you cannot realy touch up Alclad with a brush I put on all the sticky out bits on before painting,so the hardest part of the construction was just handling everything very carefully. Miraculously apart from 2 antennas i seemed to get away with it. Well done to Italieri for not just reboxing old kits but actually remoulding them.

gingerbob Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Heck, from this distance I can't even SEE the exhausts! Lovely job. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The exhausts are the wrong way around??? Never saw that! I too thought the landing light was maybe the clue being a bit white. For that my tip is use PVA glue (basic woodworking or kids craft glue) Dries clear , wipes up with a cotton bud and a bit of spit and you can apply a drizzle with the tip of a toothpick. Exhausts!!!???? Man ....didn't even see them they were painted so nicely! Top job. Cheers PS I'm desperate to try that Aclad Alclad whateverclad stuff (I never get the name right) ....it looks AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It looks lovely to me and reminds me of when the RAF Museum had one on display, before it was loaned to the Netherlands, Cheers Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
