Juggernut Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I've been working on this airplane for the past couple of weeks now. I'm planning on using the Eagle Editions 32-60 decal for the subject aircraft and it has some detailing in the visible portion of the engine (between the wheelwells) and an MDC Dora cockpit set. Its got the glosscoat on and ready for decals. I've been doing much work and evaluation on the representative paint scheme and combining the research of several well known sources, I put together this paint job based on the references, the experts opinions and my own as well. I hope you like it. The first pics are of the MDC cockpit and the engine compartment. TimC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Wing underside, the yellow green color is from Floquil and is incorrectly identified as RLM 84. It's a very late war color and is referred to as a green-blue shade of RLM76 (From the experten decal website) whatever it is, it's definitely yellow green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Left Side. The RLM 82 bright green shows up in the picture as really bright. In less intense light, it's not that bright and looks good. I also painted some "overspray" on the black spinner (not shown) to replicate the overspray that was on the real aircraft.

Juggernut Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Left side tail. Notice that the rudder is RLM 75 heavily oversprayed with 76, not the other way around as is usually the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Last one for now....view from the rear. I tried to duplicate as best I could, the camouflage pattern from the pictures of this airplane that I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Here's a color picture of the real aircraft to compare it to. Note that there is no weathering or mud splatters on the model yet. I'll add those later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzulscha Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Very pretty, My monitor here at work is a little dark, so I lose some of the detail, but it certainly looks like yer headed in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 Well folks, the dora is progressing very nicely at this time. The decals have been applied, and the model has been flat coated. The heavy exhaust staining is on. Final assembly and weathering later. I hope it turns out nice. I'm even pleased with it so far. Pictures to follow. TimC.
