Pepper-Mint Posted May 11, 2015 Posted May 11, 2015 Hello Gents ! Will be in with the Dornier Do335 ; one of my top-3 favorite German airplanes. AM : Eduard Brassin wheels, Eduard masks, RB productions seat-belts. Nose engine panels removable, guns hatches closed, cockpit open, 2 aft engine panels in open position for current ground maintenance. Bomb bay closed. I usually build my models out of war context, and this one won't be an exception. No svatiska and no guns, just a beautiful and powerful Dornier Do335. Most likely and partially bare metal, with a home drew Nose Art inspired from ESHER's work : Nose-art base : Free-style artistic licensed for personal civil version of the Dornier. Scheme is still in progress, but main idea is : 3 or 4 tone livery with at least 60% of the fuselage in NMF. Lately found something very inspiring : Will see... Thanks for checking in. Cheers, Laurent. 2
Administrators Fran Posted May 11, 2015 Administrators Posted May 11, 2015 Original and inspiring! Following 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted May 11, 2015 Administrators Posted May 11, 2015 lovely idea. Would be interesting to see you pull this off! 1
rkranias Posted May 12, 2015 Posted May 12, 2015 great scheme and rendering. truly using plastic as a canvas for the creative process and inspiration. 1
Pepper-Mint Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Thank you for the support guys ! great scheme and rendering. truly using plastic as a canvas for the creative process and inspiration. Yes Rick, can't stick to the entire plan (if there is any). I'm putting all the interest in the plane's technical design, flying specifications and graphic appropriation. Rivet counting and war-history can wait a bit, we have tons of both. Preparing a vectorized Dornier335 profile for further use. Can be useful. Cheers ! Laurent. 1
Pepper-Mint Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Will be ready right on time... Cheers, Laurent 1
Pepper-Mint Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Hi there, Wow Laurent, great skills there.Tim. Thanks Tim The 335c starting point. Ed's wheels are really nice. 2
youngtiger1 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Cool project and I really like your idea. It will look totally cool with red and silver
Grimm Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Like Rick said, very original idea, I like it alot! (though i still love war time schemes)
Pepper-Mint Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Hi there, Thank you gents. Cockpit panel bezels are kinda "melted" ; miss-luck or OOB goofy ? Cheers, Laurent.
Administrators James H Posted July 19, 2015 Administrators Posted July 19, 2015 Perhaps try some of the Yahu replacement instruments and bezels, all pre-painted...
Pepper-Mint Posted July 20, 2015 Author Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks Jim. Going for the Airscale instruments bezels, not a big fan of pre-painted. Spent also a couple of hours to sort the exhaust pipes out. Strange...different shapes...no logic...oob.............................................
Pepper-Mint Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Hi there. Got the bezels from Airscale. They are perfect and will positively enhance the cockpit instrument panel. Thanks Pete ! Cheers ! Laurent. 1
