Redboost Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Hi fellow Britmodellers, this latest addition to my World War 2 Finnish AF collection and since the fighter force is almost completed (having the G.50 and H.75 in the paint shop), I focused my attention to the bombers. The ICM kit is well detailed and went together fairly quickly without major troubles. I used OWL conversion to Z-3 version, which featured the extended ("potty") camera cover and decal sheet for DN-64 from LeLv 46 from around January 1943. Photos show the card emblem being painted on both side of the nose, so I had to source the second one from my spares as it was omitted on the decal sheet. Painted freehand with Gunze Aqueous and kept the weathering to minimum as she looks on period pictures in almost pristine condition.

AntoineG Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Beautiful job ! This paint scheme really suites this lovely aircraft very well. I also like the subtle weathering. Contrats' Antoine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Well done Libor, An interesting colour scheme not often modelled. Your painting and weathering skills are first class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Libor, another beautiful model from your factory! That winter camoflage looks very nice. As mentioned by Winenut one of the underside swastikas is slightly out of line. A minor slip-up though, that does not distract from the overall quality! Looking forward to your G-50 in Finish colors.

72modeler Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Libor, Outstanding build! Perfect winter camouflage and weathering, too. My very favorite WW2 air force, too! Looks like the ICM Dorniers are the ones to get in 1/72! Well done! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Very nice! I think the DN-64 was the last plane acting in Lapland War...Scrapped in 1952! Cheers J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfqweofekwpeweiop4 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Good job! I'm building the Z-10 at the moment and I've found it good to build apart from the nacelles, which didn't go together so well. I'd say apart from the nacelles it's a better kit than the recent Airfix Do17Z-2. I also have the Do215B-4, hopefully with the different engines, the nacelles won't be so bad. thanks Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Very nice indeed. I built the same one from the 1/48 ICM kit and used the SBS decal sheet, it is a great scheme and you have done a fantastic job on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I would rate this kit higher than the Airfix kit also for variety of available versions. Good luck with 215B-4! 54 minutes ago, modelling minion said: Very nice indeed.
