A6Intruder Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Mates, after a quite Long time, last but not least because I could not start topics with my Firefox-Browser, I would like to show, one of my recent builds. It`s the updated Version of the quite old Kit from Italerie. Mostly oob, only the Exhausts are from Quickboost, Paints are above RLM 72+73 from Agama, below RLM 65 from Humbrol, done as always by brush. I hope you like this cutie, as I do. Any criticism is highly appreciated. Best regards Stefan 42 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Excellent look! I met some criticism about the accuracy in shapes of Do-24 by Italeri. What is you oponion here? Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A6Intruder Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 @JW: I liked the old kit and I love the updated one. For me it looks defiantly like a Do even not every mm fit. Decide yourself, in fact of the age of the original Kit, I wouldn`t complain. Would you? Best regards Stefan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's a great looking model, Stefan. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Stefan If this kit is brush-painted, I'd love to borrow your paint brush! Fantastic job on one of my favorite kits from Italeri- RLM 72/73 colors are spot on. Well done! I'd love to see Revell/Germany do new-tools of the Italeri seaplanes and multi-engine kits.

russ c Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Really nice Flying Boat there Stefan, looks superb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazontipede Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Excellent job! You've really captured the somewhat ungainly but still elegant look of this big boat! This is the updated Italeri kit, do you perhaps know what went into the update? Was it just cleaning up the venerable old moulding so it could see continued use or are there new things to be found in the box? Hm. I think there might be an X-boat shaped hole in my stash... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They updated the Kit very smart. Some sense full Metal parts, some additional plastic parts and a fantastic decal sheet. They also reworked the hull sides with additional windows for example. It`s really worth buying and building. Best Regards. Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Regards. Stefan Ooh. Thanks Stefan, that looks highly promising! You really aren't helping me resist the impulse to buy this kit! I'd really like to do an MLD X-boat in the pre-Pacific war NEI colours with the big orange triangles or an A49 boat after the escape to Australia and 'joining' the RAAF, but being Cyclone powered Do-24K they would require some kit bashing... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hello Intruder, Perfect model of this famous Do-24. Recently finished a book regarding this type. development and users (German-Dutch-Spanish-French) Interesting was the fact that Spain used these aircraft until 1970. Stationed at the Balearen Islands. This was new to me. Information regarding the book: ISBN; 90-73304-09-1 Authors: Pieter van Wijngaarden/Prudent Staal. Available: www.vanstarkenburg.com/militaria Regards, Dirk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
