HobbyBoss Dornier Do-335 Pfeil 1/72 [Build Review]

[@StickyFingersScalemodelsSweden]

Nice work with the light on the wing!

[@VC27]

Thanks! I am expecting this kit shortly. This video will help me build it.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks for your feedback and good luck with it!

[@chancerNW]

Very nice build. Well done on working through the kit's issues. Great looking Do-335. I rather like Hobby Boss especially their helicopter kits.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you! It was quite challenging sometimes but still I never lost the motivation 😊

[@BasicModelling]

Great work on a rather basic HobbyBoss kit.. a perfect kit to practice new techniques, as you duly did!! :) End result is very good, in my humble opinion.. :)

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot Rob! It was a nice project and a very interesting aircraft!

[@sreigel3526]

The small fairings in the horizontal tail are actually correct as depicted in the kit. Top on the right tail, bottom on the left. Not sure why this is, but photos confirm it is accurate.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Oh damn 😔 I wasn't sure because I did not find detailed photos of that area

[@captainhowdie]

Weiter so, du machst gute Fortschritte. Im Bau: Revell Eurofighter 1:32

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Vielen Dank 😊 Hab noch den Bronze Tiger in 1/48...

[@farkinarkin5099]

It might be the accurate tail markings that are getting your videos hidden by KZbin. Certain symbols are "triggering". Great review and good build. Thanks.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks man! This is the first video in which I showed Swastikas so that can't be the reason my other videos aren't shown 🤔

[@Roosterfox]

If you apply a clear gloss varnish before adding decals you can avoid slivering as a Matt finish can absorb water and affect the decals

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Yep, I always spray gloss before the decals.

[@Juno58]

@@Starfishscalemodeling I had NEVER silvering decals if i apply them on a glossy surface. You must do something wrong...

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@Juno58 Yes looks like it. Which gloss varnish do you use?

[@JedenSiedemDwa]

Looks very good - you are skilled modeller. Why I never seen Your channel before? ;) All the best for You! ;)

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you! I don't know what's wrong with the KZbin algorithm - my old videos where my models looked terrible still get more views than my new stuff 😪 Please spread the word about my channel!

[@BoysOfCinnamonCat]

Very nice kit.

[@reigels]

Nice build. Looks like the DML kit is more detailed and has fewer errors, but it has numerous fit issues and would require much more work to get the most out of.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks!

[@PanzermansBunker]

Nice corrections to the kit. Finished plane looks great. Bill

[@richardlott579]

Nice work, very nice work.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thank you so much Richard :)

[@FinAndo69]

This looks so amazing. I hope to be this good at some point.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot mate! Still room for improvement 🙂

[@SahanModelbuilding]

Gute Arbeit wie immer 👍🏻👍🏻 Sehr schön Ergebnis

[@SprueFascinationChannel]

Great result 👍

[@philRminiatures]

Lovely model and great job!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks Phil!

[@armanpadaryan]

Hi, I understand you did not put any load in the nose part of the plane? And it did not sit on its tail anyway? The model is well balanced?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

I did not mention it in the video but this model definitely needs some nose weight!

[@Michu32421]

Hello w how many hours does IT take yOu to make this model excluding drying time?

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

That's a good question! This one required a few corrections so it took me longer than usual. Most models take me a few months because I often don't find the time for building.

[@apm-algerianplasticmodels]

Another beautiful work done, waiting for the VIGGEN

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks a lot mate! Viggen? 🤫😄

[@apm-algerianplasticmodels]

[@martinmengh]

nice build and good subject. What was the computer game shown during this video? It looks interesting . Was it IL-2? Thanks.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks for the feedbacks! Yes the footage is from IL-2 1946 with the BAT mods

[@SCALEBENCHplasticmodels]

Hi mate ... amazing build ... thanks for sharing!!! ... i´m currently working on the same kit :-) ... my first Aircraft in Years ... have not corrected any flaws ... just sraight out of the box ... but i like it anyway ... when the paint job is done i will uploade a video ... have subscribed to your channel :-) ... cheers Markus

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

Thanks Markus! Looking forward to your Pfeil, good luck with painting! Kannst übrigens auch auf Deutsch schreiben 😉

[@SCALEBENCHplasticmodels]

:-) ... alles klar ... Lol

[@daschenner]

I can agree on the others, this build turned out quite nice. Looking on the Spitfire I built not too long ago I get a litte jealous about how your models turn out beautiful and mine are, well you can call them good. Do you have links to your airbrush and compressor? I think my first step in making them better is by switching to an airbrush. Just to remove the brush strokes. Uff mir ist gerade eingefallen dass ich ja deutsch schreiben kann. Egal bisschen Englisch kann ja nicht schaden. Viel Spaß noch mit deinen zukünftigen Modellen!

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

🤣 Englisch oder Deutsch, wie du willst! Eine Airbrush ist definitiv ein Schritt in die richtige Richtung wobei du dich vorher schon über die Schwierigkeiten damit informieren solltest (Verdünnen, Reinigung, Techniken...). Meine Airbrush ist eine Harder & Steenbeck Ultra, der Kompressor ein billiger Noname Kompressor aus einem Set.

[@daschenner]

@@Starfishscalemodeling ​Jo danke. bin mir den Schwierigkeiten schon bewusst, war mir aber eben bei der Airbrush und dem Kompressor nicht sicher welche/welchen ich nehmen sollte.

[@Starfishscalemodeling]

@@daschenner Also meiner is wie gesagt so ein billig Teil aber den verwende ich schon echt lange... Die Ultra Airbrush kostet etwa 70€ was man als Einsteiger-/Mittelklasse bezeichnen könnte; nach oben hin gibt's da natürlich kaum Grenzen
