Hi, this is my
second submission to ARC. I have seen quite a few Do-335's sent in but no heavy
armed versions. This version was armed with two 20mm cannons in the nose and one
30mm cannon on each wing. As everyone knows Tamiya's Do 335 models
practically fall together, so without saying it was an easy and fun build.
My only trouble was when I was moving the plane on my workbench and the
open canopy got knocked off, so I had no choice but to close it up. I did add Eduard
seat belts.
Exterior painting was done with
Tamiya acrylics. Panel lines were done with thinned Tamiya acrylic.
Fortunately for the Allied bomber
crews this plane never saw combat. The 30mm cannons would have done some serious
damage.
