Farmerboy Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yep! That's a kit that's going on the wants list, that's a cracking build. Also I agree about Xtracolour enamels, they work for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomprobert Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks again for the kind comments - I'm glad you liked her I'm a real fan of Airfix's new kits - the panel lines may be a little to heavy for my liking, but once they've had a coat of paint and providing you don't add a panel wash (which will only make them look worse and completely out of scale) the surface detailing is pretty good. They seem to be getting better with each release - I may treat myself to the Blenheim at some point, too. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Stunning ( and tempting ) build, Tom, well done ! You are right with the panel lines, just leave them, no wash and they look fine ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonC Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Gorgeously tidy build! I like execution of the exhaust stains. Given their prominence, I think you made the right call on the panel lines. regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin-42 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 "it was almost a case of throwing some glue and paint into the box, giving it a shake and out it comes." You left out a fair amount of skill. Nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookytooth Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Great work Tom. These Airfix new tooling are not bad, I am worried about the plastic, it seems a little brittle though. Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonkeyVong Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Nice build. How did you come to those upper splinter colours? Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Great work Tom. These Airfix new tooling are not bad, I am worried about the plastic, it seems a little brittle though. Simon. I didn't find it a problem Simon, although to be fair I haven't put it under a 'stress test' as of yet! Nice build. How did you come to those upper splinter colours? Matt. Thanks, Matt - and the camo is my interpretation of the Airfix colour guide.... Xtracolour RLM 70/71 Edited May 11, 2015 by tomprobert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrlx Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Excellent work Tom! I intend to build one of these for the upcoming Battle of Britain GB. I think I'll have to get the Do 17z plus Paul Defiant boxing, in order to have decals within the time frame of the Battle. It seems that the particular aircraft you built was shot down over Britain on the 3rd of July 1940, a few days before the official start of the Battle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
