pizzapaolo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Been working on these on and off for about 7-8 months, pleased with results overall. All Airfix, it's 75th Anniversary box and a cheeky Dornier which I had to add as there was a spare place on the stand which I sprayed black and painted the little Airfix logo . Heinkel fuselage windows were a pain in the.... Dornier was a lovely build but daunting, not a beginners Airfix kit in my mind. No issues on the other kits. Nice to not have to fiddle with undercarriage for a change! Might go back and add some more weathering at some point but moved onto a B-29 now... 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Lot of plastic going on there. I do like the wingy things with black crosses. Just about to start the Do17, any pitfalls to expect? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of modern Airfix kits, there are some tight fits so painting the parts first might cause issues. But no faults with the kit that I could see, its very well engineered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to stuff as much in the cockpit/fuselage then paint it before closing up. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 This is the formation flying from Hell! You wouldn't find me in any of these aircraft, no matter what! Flying safety notwithstanding, it is a truly magnificent display, and each model deserves kudos! Congrats JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booty003 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 That is a great set of well made and painted models - look great together on the stand. Love the colours of the Lufty birds - although you say that you used Vallejo can you specify which numbers please? Thanks in advance.
