JWM Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Jaime, very nice result indeed! BTW - what is your oppinion on accuracy of Do 24 T by Italeri? Have you studied it? Once I've read some review which discouraged me to do model suggesting serious surgery in fuselage... But perhaps this review was wrong?

Once I've read some review which discouraged me to do model suggesting serious surgery in fuselage... But perhaps this review was wrong? Regards J-W Hi J-W! Thank you very much! Regarding the accuracy of Italeri's kit, I'm no expert on the aircraft and didn't have real plans to compare the kit to. So, I can't say for sure if the kit is accurate or not. From the many pictures I've looked at, it seemed to me the shapes and many details are correct but it seems the panel lines on the kit's fuselage aren't as many as can be noticed in some pictures. Overall, I was happy with the looks of the model compared to pictures of the real thing. I've also read some not-so-good reviews of Italeri's kit but they were reviews of the original tooling. This one is a revised tooling, upgraded to modern standards. For instance, the cockpit is completely upgraded and is very detailed out-of-the-box, as can be seen in my pictures. In the original post, I've written my thoughts on the kit. Hope they're useful. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs PlaStix Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hi Jaime, this one is amazing, love the way you've matched the photo - you really should put it in a diorama... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mrs Stix, Thank you very much for your interest and appreciation! I'm afraid I've never tried a diorama yet. I did plan to do a vignette in a past GB: it was going to be a desert scene with an USAAF Mustang in the North Africa Campaign. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to even start but it's still in the list of future projects. Cheers Jaime 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
