Super paint job SteveComment

The paintwork is real quality Steve. The subtle variations in shade, the meticulous attention to authentic colour rendering all superb. the finish will only get batter too as the various finishing stages are applied.
Top stuff

So I walked into my model room to see how the decals on the Dora were doing under the Microsol and noticed a nice juxtaposition of the model with a Jerry Crandall profile stuck to the window. 'That'll do for a progress shot" I said to myself, so here it is
The decals are cobbled together from the kit, an aeroscale 'Dora' sheet and the spares box. The Werknummer on the fin is home made. I've never found 1/32 decals for this aircraft which seems a shame.

Great build so far love itComment

I reckon that Crandall's interpretation of the photographs is spot on and it's a hell of a lot easier to refer to a profile picture than to juggle a couple of books in which the various photographs are spread over several pages
I also don't really want to use books, some of which are quite valuable and difficult to replace, in the same place as I'm painting and spraying. Things tend to get inexplicably contaminated by paints, varnishes and solvents when I start working!

Nibel, his crew chief and 'Black 12' are now more or less complete.
I just have to create a snowy base and back drop (some pilots reported difficulty taking off through the snow blown up by those in earlier waves) and I'll take some 'proper' pictures and make a 'completed' thread. I'll include a little history (optional, for those interested )
In the mean time....
Cheers

That looks really nice Steve - I think the Dora turned the 190 into a very elegant looking aircraft.Comment
