Fuad Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Hi, everyone! It's my next model from Ukrainian model firm "Dora Wings". It's made by "shortrun" technology, but it's very high quality, more better than "typical shortun". 35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarWarsModeler Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Love the weathering in the wheel wells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Another beautiful model of a classic- you can sure see the Thunderbolt to come in those lines! Loved the cooling grids on the upper and lower cowling, the prop dome and hub, and the brake lines. Did the wash you use on the upper control surfaces get away from you? They look a little funny outside the hinge area to me. Beautifully applied bare metal and weathering, Fuad- unusual, but nice to see a factory-fresh example from you! Mike Hoping you and yours are safe and well. 😷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weathering on this model is just an X-19 smoke from Tamiya. I didn't do anything else. And even that seems superfluous to me. The model already looks quite "voluminous". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28ZComeback Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Love the finish. I have one observation. Right wing. Underside tip. That wing tip created a slight ledge where it joins to upper wing. Dora needs to re-engineer that part because it won’t lay down flat without massive amounts of sanding. Anyway beautiful job Fuad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The first photo took my breath away, and then they kept getting better! What a beautiful finish! I didn't expect to see this kit presented in RFI so quickly after release, or built so well. I think I want one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, your observation is correct. The lower part of the wing at the junction with the upper part needs to be desperately sanded. This is my fault. I tried to remove the defect with putty - it didn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Beautiful 'Mini-bolt' – halfway between the P-35 and its big brother, with a bit of art noveau design thrown in around the cockpit area. Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 You're churning out model kits like hot rolls. I'm led to believe that "Fuad" is actually a collective of modellers, not just one person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
