Thunnus Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 Thanks for the comments everyone! That is ever so realistic, and the in progress photos are inspiring and extremely helpful, do you have any more ? Cheers Dennis Always happy to share my work with other modelers! I couldn't get the Eagle 3-piece gun cowling to fit due to a bit shrinkage and some warpage. I probably could've massage it into place but instead, I used it as a model to modify the kit's cowling, which has very exaggerated humps over the guns. The landing gear components after painting. The data plate decals from Eagle on the legs are a great enhancement. I really wanted to add lighter colored sidewalls to the tailwheel tire. This is from a 1/48 Ju88G-6 and I think it adds a nice touch but I couldn't find a way to do it with the Dora tail wheel since it was a one-piece molding. The antennas and pitot tube were replaced with either stretched sprue or brass tubing. The loop antenna was fabricated from a piece of soda can. Coke works best. joe, Out2gtcha, MikeMaben and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I know I already posted about this build, but I just revisited your photos and have to chime in again about how great this work really is. I will be using this as a reference for my other LW builds! Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunnus Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Thanks for all of the much-too-kind comments! The Dora has always been one of my favorite aircraft so I was very excited to build Hasegawa kit in 1/32. I'm one of those guys that drifted away from the hobby some 30 years ago when I left home for college. I vividly remember the old Revell 1/32 190D-9 kit... Put together with a tube of Testor's glue and no paint, I hung it from my bedroom ceiling with fishing line. I rediscovered scale modeling a few years ago and am glad to have the opportunity to revisit the Dora. This time with some paint! Thanks again for the nice comments! If I do another 1/32 subject, maybe I'll work up enough nerve to do a WIP here at LSP. Uncarina, joe and williamj 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
