Swords to Plowshares GB / NACA Dornier Do 350 V1 Aufklärung
« Last post by The Big Gimper on Yesterday at 05:01:50 AM »I've done enough progress to post some photos.
DML Dragon Do 335 A-12. Dragon kits are a real PITA to build. You will break at least one part. Two so far.
This is the Dornier Do 350 V1 Aufklärung flugzeug. It was a late war attempt to leverage the Do 335.
The Do 350 has dedicated nose for cameras and a single Daimler-Benz DB 603F engine with contra-props
Nose is from the F2H-2P Banshee. About 1/3 was removed.
Wing extensions from a Ar 234. A nice match.
Larger tail from Me 210
Contra-prop will use bits from a Seafire MK.47
Markings will be NACA.

And it only took me two attempts each to print the turret and tracks, and three for the hull . . .I find that scaling down a larger model retains the detail, whereas scaling up a smaller one coarsens what detail there is, which is usually coarse to begin with.Also, as you can see, there is no detail on the hull bottom, and also all the marks left from the supports.
