Kitchen Modeller 2,923 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Hi all - my final completion for 2020 is the Eduard D-13 weekend edition. A nice kit if a little tricky in places - I like many others doing eduard’s doras struggled to get a good fit on the gunbay covers which if you want to display closed, requires a bit of surgery. Other than that, things went together pretty smoothly. The scheme is what drew me to this and I was happy with how that turned out. I replaced some of the kit parts with wire and steel tubing, such as the gun barrels and pilot tube -added wiring to the wheel bay and added some pe seatbelts. Other than that’s it out of the box. Painted with mr color with enamels and oils for weathering. 51 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Spitfire31 2,433 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 A superb Dora! Those Yellow 10 markings just look painted on… Top tier modelling. And it is good to see a Dora without the red and white stripes under the wings. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps. Cheers John Link to post Share on other sites
