Walter Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) Here's my entry the Dornier Do17 Z10, its not going to look very different to my Z7 so I'm considering doing some extreme weathering to it as a plane that lasted longer than it should have. It will give me an opportunity to experiment and develop my painting techniques. This model will be the 2nd to last example of the Dornier Night Fighters in my collection.

Walter Posted April 28, 2022 Author Share Posted April 28, 2022 Let's start, cockpit drying off after a base coat of flat black then a light top coat of rlm02. Once this dries I'll pick out the detail of the instruments. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Further progess on the cockpit I'll let this dry overnight then get the fuselage together. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Started to build a few more sub assemblies for the undercarriage and engine then discovered that I'm missing a firewall, so I decided to fabricate it by copying the one I had. I also painted up as many bullet canisters I had as these aren't included in the the instructions but looking at original photos shows they we mounted all over the cabin.

modelling minion Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Nice smooth metallic coat, do you plan on weathering back to reveal the metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 There's going to be much weathering and wear on the paint. Next will be an undercoat of a blue black then the final black coat at least that's the plan see how it goes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vppelt68 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It looks like something that was just dragged up from the North Sea! (Remember what the Goodwin Sands Do 17 hulk looked like back then?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
