Redboost Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Hello fellow britmodellers, this is older Special Hobby which still builds very well. I only added few missing panel lines and some other smaller details omitted in the kit. On the 10th May 1940 the '221' was flown by H.Doppenberg who shot down one Bf 109E over the De Koojl airfield, but the machine was destroyed on the ground few days later. The kit was painted with Gunze H colors according to instructions, just the Beige came out little odd on the pictures (it fact it is more greyish).

Zigomar Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Nicely done and you are right with the beige which is more a light grey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Schilhart Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Interesting aircraft, and beautifully crafted. I'm surprised by the dark brown undersides! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Lovely D.XXI! Which panels and details did you add if I may ask? I still got one in the stash and it's about time I start building it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Roman: you know, each country had its own specifics:-) Luka: those were the lines around the canopy (the folding hatch), on the nose, making a rectangular aperture on the port side and circle one on the starboard, adding filling cap on the noise along with a bulge, from spare etched I added the elevator hinges and maybe others I already forget.

Hook Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Lovely work, thanks for posting! I'm lucky enough to have one in the stash as well, she'll be finished using these Hataka colours. I can only hope she comes out looking anywhere near as good as this one! Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

72modeler Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Absolutely the best DXXI In have seen in any scale! Perfect camouflage and detailing, Libor. The only way to improve this one would be to do another in Finnish colors and markings, like FR-92 from TLeLv 12 with the kicking mule, which is my all-time favorite! You nailed the Dutch colors, in my opinion! What paints did you use? Mike https://www.pinterest.com/pin/291959988326311548/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc the Builder Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Stunning job on this one. I see I need to review my colors on the 1/48th scale kit I'm currently building. I only use Humbrol enamels and choices are not that good but your brown really hits the spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 @Redboost @antti @Antti_K Just now saw this, and thought I would share it-hope you haven't seen it before. What I wouldn't give to be there to see the first flight! Looks like they are doing magnificent job!
