I've got one of these in the stash Clint so I'll be looking on to see this one being built.

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?

wings off, at the factory....can you post the pic?
Cool! That looks like it will be a fun build. Great video too, that is something I would like to try one day, just haven't gotten there yet.

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
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.
