Title: Swedish, Finnish, Japanese, Canadian, and Hungarian Do-335's
Post by: Gingie on December 19, 2012, 02:38:15 AM: 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.

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

Nice one!

Welcome to BTS!

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

Post by: Gingie on December 19, 2012, 09:36:14 AM: 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!

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

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. :-[

Part a group build at IPMS Edmonton, Alberta.

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

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.
