Popular Post Autle Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hi Everyone This is the excellent Tamiya 1/48 scale Do-335A Pfeil built out-of-the-box, more or less! I made the crew ladder and nose cowl gun sleeves from stock plastic, other than that I just added the PE seat belts from Eduard. I wanted to recreate a fictitious Bodenplatte type blackened weathering/camo pattern to bring a little more presence to the otherwise tame colour palette usually seen on the Do-335. I’ve also tried a few new techniques to the upper surfaces which I’ve not seen on the usual YouTube channels. I’m trying this on some other kits and hope to share the techniques when I know it wasn’t just a one-off. Anyway enough of the rambling. Kind regards Trace 75 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stringbag Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I'm looking forward to reading about your techniques Trace. They certainly look very effective here. Chris. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billn53 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Excellent Arrow! And, I agree with you that the standard 335 camo schemes are boring. Thanks for doing something different & original, you pulled it off with panache! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmerboy Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Stunning result, impressive paint and finish, a real pleasure to see, good job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMRL Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 That's a superb build. I confess that I know very little about the aircraft, it surprised me how "stumpy" it is. Fabulous work on the paint scheme and weathering. The cockpit detail is also top notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winenut Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Brilliant That scheme makes your Arrow look very menacing I like it a lot! Congratulations on your build 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafetyDad Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Very effective weathering on the uppersurfaces - I'd be keen to hear more about how you achieved this. SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Walter E Kurtz Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Most envigorating! love the paint job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuraiwarrior Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Excellent quality of painting. It really looks the part, and I could just imagine it being used in that scheme. Brilliant modelling. Thanks for sharing. Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Brilliant paint finish, it looks very realistic. Your aircraft is really well made. My Pfeil is stalled for the same reason, I didn't want one of the prototype schemes but my attempt at a late war 'what if' with yellow nose band similar to a FW190 ground attack didn't look right. I'd be interested seeing your painting/weathering technique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russ c Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Superb `335 there Trace, brilliant paint job and great photo`s too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Super impressive result! Looking forward to you sharing your weathering techniques. They look good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Know absolutely zero about the subject, but THAT looks fabulous. Regards Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Marvelous Dornier. The paint job with the weathering and the black undersides are really convincing. The Do 335 is one of those modelling subjects that screams for a what if paint job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairystick Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just "Wow!". You have made a superb model there with beautiful weathering. I'm most impressed! Having stood under the 335 when it was back in the Deutsche Museum (Munich), she most certainly has a presence - your figure alongside is a very good representative scale. Keep up the fine modelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vytautas Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Same here, agree with all the others, a top job. Great painting and weathering and photos are great too - especially first and ninth. Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwolf Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 This is seriously stunning! I have the kit above and the A-12 Twin seat kit in the stash to build. I hope I get results close to this! Speaking of which, if anyone has the Tamiya Do-335B-2 Heavy Armament boxing they want rid of - let me know! Again, love this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Very nice work. I have a soft spot for the Anteater, which might explain why I have quite a few of them in my stash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvanP Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) That weathering of the camouflage is just fantastic! Very realistic! Well done! Ivan Edited July 1, 2022 by IvanP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
