Nice work on the canopy, did you use masks or just mask it up your self?

beautiful! What did you use for the paints?
Did you use the Tamiya instruction call outs or others?

My only (minor) criticism is the streaking behind the exhausts in the last photo, it is the same thickness, depth and strength down its entire length. Maybe some dark chalk/pastel/pigment streak at the upper end centerline?

Hi, your Dornier looks great, well done. The canopy frames
are very precise and the splinter camo as well.
A few years ago i started mine, but after a few weeks it landed
on my "project pile" don`t no why.

Very nice, Dornier! Love the colors on top and the weathering. Im hours away from finishing my Tamiya Do 335 ive had in the works for almost 2 years now. Wish I had gotten the heavy fighter variant that you have.

Thanks again guys.

Carl,
I used Tamiya tape to mask it up myself. I build all my models out of box to minimize cost.

Mike,
I used Tamiya dark green and black green for the camo
