Reini78 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 as with most shortrun kits, the cockpit parts alignement is partly a guessing game, but it seems it will work out 😁 DSC_0004 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0005 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 after using Tamiya Buff for the yellow my dad started to use Tamiya Brown for the second camo colour, using bluetac/uhu patafix for masking and painting it step by step DSC_0006 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0008 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reini78 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 some camo touch ups also when you look close, on the right boom you can see that the boom-fuselage joint got loose again, my dad had to repair that DSC_0008 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roginoz Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Some good looking work on what looks like a fairly challenging kit which will build up to a nice result. Mine arrived last week and, for some unknown reason, promptly installed itself at the top of the stash, so your dad's modelling and your photos will provide me with some ideas about what to look out for. I had already noted that the booms might require a bit of internal strengthening; it seems I must check my supply of filler too. Looking forward to making a start when I've cleared the workbench of works in progress. Cheers.........Rog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really fits good, a lot if sanding and filling, but for sure a unique subject🙂 Hopefully my dad added enough nose weight... Btw, some modellers pointed out, that the air intake nose part has a molding issue. Looked through the existing pics and saw that the kit's one is correct. Seems the engineers tested a symmetric intake and also this asymmetric piece which the kit has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 spinner and spinner plate aren´t compeltely aligned, so once again some sanding DSC_0012 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr underside and wheel well painted too, next step gloss clear coat and decals DSC_0013 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grunticus Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Nice to see a D XXIII built up. Such a beautiful design and ahead of its time. Would have been a great combo together with a Fokker T.9. Very nice build, congrats. Can't wait to see how it look finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
