Uncarina Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 (edited) Here's a shelf of doom rescue that must be a record for me: eight years! Once I purchased a second Dragon kit I knew I had to build this one. AIMS and EagleCals decals (each depicts the same subject aircraft, I went with the AIMS interpretation), and Quickboost exhausts. I had originally completed about 90% of the kit, intending to build a waspen version, changed my mind to build a Battle of Britain version, left it unpainted and in storage until recently. RLM 02, 65, and 71 overall, using Tamiya paints and my trusty Aztek airbrush. A few mods: turned the rudders and extended the slats. I weathered with Flory washes, Prismacolor pencils, and Mig's Europe Dust pastel powder. Now, back to my originally scheduled build!

Gigant Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 You got a beauty there! Excellent photography as well. Makes me glad I got one of those Dragon kits! The clarity of your canopy is striking! Bomber_County 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clarity of your canopy is striking! Tom, thanks very much! I used a tripod for my Sony RX-10 with a remote trigger. As for the canopy, I am amazed that it ended up clear, with all of the banging around it received in the box! Almost forgot: I used Montex masks for the inside and outside.

Uncarina Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 Thanks! I love this scheme as well, not sure why I haven't seen it before, with both AIMS and EagleCals offering this option. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lud13 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Great choice of markings and one top looking 110. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Tom Outstanding work and what a superb finish: cammo and light weathering are spot on the money. Absolutely first class work and so glad you recused the Big 110 from the Doom :thumbsup: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Cross Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Really nifty. I would say the nose is a bit too white to replicate the photo's tones, but that is a quibble and nothing more.

I'm satisfied at another rescue, it does feel different than completing one start to finish. Cheers, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that these aircraft had a thin whitewash marking on the front, and I agree that I could tone down the white, though when I increased the photo contrast it really made it pop more than it actually appears. I might go back and tone it down a bit at some point. Cheers, Tom Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
