Swedish, Finnish, Japanese, Canadian, and Hungarian Do-335's

[Gingie]

Part a group build at IPMS Edmonton, Alberta. All of is did speculative finishes on Tamiya's 48th scale kit. My take was the Swedish splinter cam. I polished the canopy for a more modern look. The 335 looks like a what-if kit right from the box!

Painted with Gunze acrylic colours and roughly 3 miles of masking tape :-) Paint chipping from a silver pencil crayon and some panel line staining using thinned Tamiya smoke.

Now that's one heck of an introduction, Gingie!

I don't think I've ever seen splinter camo done better!

Nice one!

Welcome to BTS!

Way to kick the door down!

Welcome aboard, even more so because you're from my old stomping grounds in Edmonton. :)

Impeccable work! 

[Gingie]

Thanks guys! I'll check with the other Group build guys and if its OK, I'll post their 335's here too. I think I have some WIP photos...strangely for a Tamiya kit, I encountered a lot of fit issues.

Upnorth - I was in Edmonton for 6 years. They have one of the best model clubs I've been to. Sometime they'd get 80 guys out to a monthly meeting. And then there were sub groups of armour guys too. I was sad to leave Edmonton, though I can't say I miss the -40*C winters much!

That's a gorgeous piece of work there!

Most impressive. A well done model.

Welcome aboard.

Gorgeous paint work! Needs another "FARA" on the tail end though to avoid rendering erks to produce

Shhhh! Well spotted. Actually, the Twobobs Viggen set only came with one pair of warnings.

Nice collection there. It's always great to see Vic Scheuerman's work.

Some talented gents in your group build.....the japanese markings look very believable.

LOL, I just realized, I did put one there - second pic, just under the the rear tail plane. It's in the shadow, but its there.

Very nice  :)

One of the very few German aircraft I do like (got a bunch of them to build)

Just for grins, there should've been one of these beauties in Red Arrows markings.  Beautiful work on all of them.

Or in Raspberry Ripple?

Edmonton?!  We are neighbors, Gingie!  Oh, and fantastic model.  Your Skyraider also blew my socks off.

I always admired that Japanese Do-335! Great work all around, I had not seen the others before  :)

JHM - I lived in Edmonton from 2006-2011, now calling Ottawa home. The whif's shown here were at the Nanton show south of Cowtown and I think at Northern Wings at the Edmonton Museum. Vic lives in Sher Park just down the road from you. If you are not a member of Edmonton IPMS, I totally recommend it, something for everyone there.
