Fred piket Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hello guys, this is a build I've completed 4 years ago. I'm posting this because I'm not able to continue the build of my Curtiss CW-21 at the moment. It's been a rollercoaster last period with a holiday in Chile and Argentina, Christmas, the sudden death of a dear friend, and work, always work... I hope by posting some older projects to get a bit of mojo and time to start building again.. Anyways: this is the MPM DC-2 "Jan van Gent" in orange during 1939. It's a nice kit to build and goes together pretty good. The only thing I hate is the separate propellor blades you need to glue in the right position. When I look at the pictures I don't think I've succeeded very well.. It's OOB, paints are; Orange; Hataka, other colours vallejo and AK true metallic wax. Here are some pictures, I hope you like them! Comments are 🙏 36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Nice job on a surprisingly tough kit! I love the paint scheme, too, which cries out "DON'T SHOOT!" I understand the pax windows on many of these KLM aircraft were covered in a lighter orange-yellow material, kind of like masking Tamiya tape, that allowed light in but did not allow anyone to look out.

That's a fantastic idea! I've transparent orange paint in a lighter colour. I will experiment a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Patrick, it was painted in this scheme during the phoney war, and I think it is the best possible way to say don't shoot.. Keith; I think it's very cool too..
