Hi mates!
Another “Dora” is finished. It’s MiniArt’s new D-9 in 1/48 scale.
From my perspective, it is a kit with its ups and downs—but ultimately, no witchcraft. However, I fail to see the advantage of breaking down even small sub-assemblies into dozens of individual parts. I was told, though, that this is not unusual for MiniArt kits; until now, I had only associated this practice with AFV Club.
Built out of the box. The only additions were cannulas used for the gun barrels and the pitot tube, fishing line for the sagging antenna wire, and craft wire for the brake hoses on the main landing gear.
It was painted using Revell’s new Airbrush Colors, Tamiya paints, and AK Interactive products.
Weathering was applied using my standard method: an oil paint wash, dry-brushing (or stippling), and a touch of pastel chalks.
The figures are from ICM and were painted using Revell and AK paints.
The base is a ready-made ceramic display stand.
My model depicts the “Yellow 15” of III./JG 301 in the spring of 1945.
I think this camouflage scheme is very interesting. However, I do wonder: given such high contrast, what exactly was the intended camouflage effect supposed to be?
Horrido
