1/48 Tamiya Do335A "Pfeil"

Post by Floki »

I'm in with the Tamiya Do335A that was a amazing Christmas gift from Bruce
So Bruce, Thank you so much for the kit!


I'm excited to start building this one!
Skol!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

That should be fun.

Thank you guys! In one of my reference books I found a photo of one abandoned at a factory, all in bare metal with the panel lines puttied in and the wings off. I've been thinking of wanting to recreate the scene or maybe build it complete but still in bare metal with the seams puttied.
What do you guys think?

Good for you Clint! Bruce is a truly kind soul when it comes to gifts.

Thank you for that link Lyle! I haven't seen most of them photos.
here is the photo from Osprey XPlanes No:9 Dornier Do 335 page 26
Image
Text with photo: The fuselage of Do 335A-0 Wk-Nr 240110 VG+PP under construction at a sawmill at Ummendorf, which was one of several dispersed sites of assembly in the Oberpfaffenhofen and Friedrichshafen areas. Clearly visible are the paste-filled panel lines, the wing root and fairing for the under-fuselage radiator scoop.
