LSP_Kevin Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I like it! For small gaps and cracks, I'm using Perfect Plastic Putty these days. Far less mucking about than Milliput, and smooths out and cleans up with water. I wouldn't use it for large gaps or creating shapes, though.

LSP_Kevin Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Found some UK suppliers Kev - will order some later today - looks perfect for this kind of thing! I'm pretty sure it's a UK product, Iain. Down here, I get it from Red Roo. I think you'll like it! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 I've not seen it before - would certainly be quicker/simpler than Milliput! Look forward to trying it Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Question for any Do335 experts out there - what material were the prop blades manufactured from - wood, or alloy? Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Getting there... Test weight and balance - still very marginal but working... Camouflage on - followed by a few coats of Quick Shine ready for decals. Now 'baking' off in the airing cupboard ready for a quick Micro-Meshing and decals - could be a late night/early morning! Finished by the weekend. Iain Kagemusha, Chek, ghatherly and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alaninaustria Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Damn Iain - beauty! I must say I really enjoy the 'ghost' like appearance of the underlying structure in the first photo in primer!! The cam job is outstanding!! Looking great up on her feet as well! It's surprising to see actually how tall and large the Do-335 really is!
