warping issues along the bomb-bay

decided to use P-masks, they're OK, not as good as Eduard (which I also bought.....)

plenty of internal detail on this: engines are defined too.

internal pre-shading. Bf109 (new Tamiya G6) simultaneous build.

picking out highlights in red/yellow etc. to add to the 3-dimensional effects
11

Airfix provide 2 glaring omissions: belt buckles and the external, ventral 'towel-rail antennae'....buckles from wine caps.
12
April 26, 2020
the Achilles' heel of the build, this seat is precariously mounted in the rear of the cockpit- care will be needed to attach the rear bulkhead and eventually the ventral MG15
13
April 26, 2020
the toughest part of the build: the top left has to go into the fuselage....and its very tricky with the rear seat and the warping of the fuselage doesn't help...
14
April 26, 2020
after much butchery, we got the final pieces in....with some loss of detail alas.
15
April 26, 2020
finally in, but note the warping

the instrument panel is a Yahu a/market...great to pop in some detail here....
18
April 26, 2020
it (cockpit) does look suitably busy at this scale
19
April 26, 2020
After a hiatus: CoVID-19 has prompted me back. Tidied work-bench and temporary use of Chinese generic airbrush as Harder and Steenbeck has furred up...
20
April 26, 2020
Vallejos all round. Humbrol Clear for the varnish....pre-decals....
21
April 26, 2020
I will need to scratch-build the ventral 'towel-rail' antennae
22
April 26, 2020
Decals finally popping out at you.Matt varnish: Vallejo
23
April 26, 2020
decided against Airfix's decals, many built Do-17s on the internet are adorned with them. So went for Owls'. Good product.

agonisingly close to completion....needs some panel washes and I'll call her done.
25
June 30, 2020
not sure they always sported the white 'walk-way' lines from photos they could have been red?, well in another life I'll build differently.
26
June 30, 2020
Airfix have made a great subject here. I've done my best to pull something out of it.
27
June 30, 2020
decent detail underneath....shame about the towel rail antennae, my 2 attempts at scratch building were partially successful. Surely an aftermarket goal?!
28
June 30, 2020
one big bomb, and a fuel tank...I'm too lazy to add loads of ordinance!

yup, she looks better from afar!...

Pleasant port profile view: another coat of matt varnish and I’m saying Dornier Do-ne!

Good progress Andy 🙂

Is it another one, or...?

@Lukasz: no, I've deleted all the photos...this is the re-incarnation....is it me?, or is SCM sometimes a pain-in-the a$$ to use?....

27 April 2020, 13:49

Andy Ball Author
edging closer to the finish....panel washes and perhaps 'that's all folks'.....

Guy Rump
Splendid result Andy, really impressive 🙂 I like the detail, maybe I'll have to get the Airfix version.....

Guy, it's a great little kit...mine was beset with a warped fuselage around the b/bays, and aspects of the cockpit are very fiddly (rear seat-check out blog), otherwise it's a corker!

I agree Andy, the screen design and functionality is sometimes not very intuitive. I have accidentally deleted things in the past. But it is what it is.

Nicely done Sir 👍

@ Łukasz: cheers!!

Well done, I can hardly see the warp.

Andy Ball Author
Thanks Dave, it did correct a little once most of the assemblies went together, but contributed to a lot of ill-fits in the rear cockpit area. I've got to do some washes and then I'll hang up the brushes.....

@ Alec K, Cuajete, Łukasz, Roland and Skywalker: thanks for the replies, @ Łukasz I think this one's "fodder" for Glowacki's 303's....

O rly? What a nice coincidence 👍

Slowly, but nicely. Perfect result 👍

@David: slowly, just like the bomber. (Great kit though, can't be rushed!)

Cheers Peter, I'm glad you've had a look!

Juergen, many thanks-I think the Pencil's inherently good looking....I merely coloured it in a bit!

I can dream of my 17 to look like this! Congratulations, Andy!

Thanks Zhivko, I'll look out for your 'pencil'- I'll warn you though- the rear cockpit internals can be tricky- and hope you don't have any warping issues with the fuselage.
