Andy Ball @Daniel: chickened out...bought Eduard's mask at a cheap price. Also CMK's MG-15s....going all-out for detail...again!
22. October at 18:14:36
Andy Ball @David: thanks again for hooking up. I'm methodical, and this is in parallel with Stigler's Bf109G6, so may take some time....
22. October at 18:19:46
Gordon Sørensen The November issue of Aeroplane has an article about the Do17.
22. October at 19:08:11
Andy Ball @Gordon: I'll go take a look, thx
22. October at 19:21:53
Cuajete Following!

I used Montex mask for my Do-24. I had no problems. Maybe transparent parts in this kit not be as difficult as in other models. I have several sheets from Montex and P-Mask. I hope I don't have problems with them.

Good luck with your Do-17, Andy. Looking so good!
22. October at 19:42:26
Łukasz Gliński Using Montex on my Karaś some time ago ended up rather badly. I have to build another one and throw this away one day ;)
Lessons?
1. Cut of the middle of the bigger or to-be-bent parts and fill them with some maskol.
2. Use only Lacquer varnish when using vinyl masks.
3. Buy kabuki stuff if feasible. :)
Btw. Thx for hint, I thought PeeWit uses vinyl too.
22. October at 19:52:58
Guy Rump Looking good so far Andy. Agree with the above posts, the P masks and Montex vinyl masks are not as good as Eduard and Peewit. :)
22. October at 21:04:15
Andy Ball I really appreciate this forum!! Many thanks for the feedback, and illuminating me on the differences in masks! Eduard's one is now on order and I'll begin the monotony of masking those blighters soon! How we suffer down here in 72nd scale!!

Andy Ball @Spanjaard: that's good to know, as I was thinking of opening a third interest area on commercial planes: most of which gravitate to the 144th. I guess we're all benefiting from improving technology!
21. October at 15:54:20
Cuajete Very nice, Andy. Well done. Congrats!

Andy Ball @Cuajete: many thanks for the comment!
21. October at 23:44:12
David Januska Oh my, how could I miss such a treasure. Really nice one am perfect result. How was the built? Is the kit so good as was written?
22. October at 11:33:33
Andy Ball @ David: not one single piece of filler. The 2 rear fuselage 'v' shaped (to mask the transparencies) sat a little proud and had to be sanded down, and a little CA was used to blend the join if I'm honest, but otherwise I think this is a 'game-changer' for the scale and Airfix. I'm building their Do-17z at the moment, and the few years' difference in molding philosophy is notable. Build one, you won't regret it.
22. October at 12:39:20
Andy Ball And thanks David for the comments too!
22. October at 12:39:38
David Januska Well Andy, thank you. I must say I admire your wood work, it seems like it is real wood. I have the same one in my stash, so I think the building is getting closer ;).
22. October at 13:38:45
Andy Ball @David, drop me a note when you're thinking of starting...I'll offer any support you need, but you probably won't need it!

11. October at 10:18:53
Andy Ball I'm going all out: trying the Rob Taurus canopy to allow it to slide back (seen in photo). As this is a starter kit, I'm adding stencils too. Finally, Airwaves will complete the canopy's rear-view mirror and the harness straps.
So far build is OK, a little mis-alignment in the fuselage halves (aft of cockpit area), and during the wing-to-fuselage dry-fitting I needed some sanding to get them married together. Great step up in quality and detail from the old Airfix (see re-purposed project) offering of the previous tooling.
14. October at 16:20:33
Andy Ball I will post better lit photos...despite having a Canon 5D Mk4, I need a better lighting rig!, anyways, we'll have this dispatched for front-line duties soon! Now moving into decals and stencils with Xtradecals and TechMod respectively.
16. October at 13:11:08
Andy Ball nearly at the end, really pleased with the kit. Glad I went for the vac-canopy too.

Agustin Prellezo Thanks, mate!
9. August at 21:02:46
Igor Kondrashenkov I have that one in my stash, trying to find a proper italian sand for my Sicilian camo. Yours looks really nice.
18. August at 21:05:46
Andy Ball Thank-you Igor!
I think I was inclined to use an RLM for my Italian sand, once washes etc. are put over it, the shades tend to change, but I guess you start with the as-near-correct colour first. If you come to build, drop me a note and I'll remember the +/- points of the build along the way for you.
19. August at 11:45:50
Igor Kondrashenkov Thanks Andy ..
20. August at 07:29:30
Nikolaos Kouzinis I have a same one Andy. It 's a good kit. I had problem with the fitting of cockpit glass. I putted 2 torpedoes but I know that it carried only one. I painted it with brush to have the control of camo shemes as you say too.
17. September at 22:05:20
Andy Ball @Nikolaos: seen yours, lovely!! I had the same issues with the main canopy, (as hinted at here in the photos). References suggest that the undersides were aluminium and a "hellblau-like-colour". When in Rhodes, I am lead to believe it had come back from S.M.'s servicing and had a repaint, hence I spared it too much weathering.
17. September at 22:24:03
Nikolaos Kouzinis Yes you have right for the colour. I choose the light ghost grey(gloss) because the Airfix guide has that colour and it was very easy to paint it with the brush, only one time I must change the tyres colour with rubber acrylic because they are very gloss. And of course I must make wash and smoke . I didn't dare it because I destroyed a SU-15 washing it and made a destroyed Ukranian SU-15 diorama.

Andy Ball I say "started"... it was in 2005, but has been languishing in a box, but now I have my 'mojo' back for modelling, I will try and finish off!
23. July at 12:43:44
Patrick Hagelstein This is a nice well fitting kit to get your mojo going!
23. July at 17:18:40
Andy Ball Hey Patrick!, it certainly is!....I've done some more work on her today, and will post some photos once I can pass the 'red-faced test' of my skills!????

Andy Ball OK, another one I built when I was a young student of Pharmacy and model-making in 1983, I think. Over the years the model has been damaged, so I'll breathe a bit of new life into the old plastic. Heck, I know it's not accurate either, but it's still an impressive kit - and subject!
21. March at 18:57:58
Andy Ball the decals weren't the best, and I made a school-boy error of spraying 'flat base' instead of 'flat varnish', so pretty well eliminated any 'up-grades' I'd invested in......well, there's always the ICM 72nd'er I guess....

17. July at 16:10:02
John Ballman Nice build, what kit is this?
17. July at 17:06:48
Andy Ball I built this,(Hasegawa), one in the mid-1990's and have only recently added Air Master metal barrels for the 0.303's, as it'd been stored and damaged. It was brush painted and weathered, (it shows!), but I like its overall "feel"...., I'm still "practicing as a modeller", as indeed we all are- projects like this show where I've come from! Finally, many thanks for your comments!
17. July at 20:05:16
David Januska Very nice "bird". I also have a Hasegawa kit "nose art". But I've replaced it with an Airfix one in my stash. But your work looks awesome. Congratulations .
17. July at 20:34:18
Andy Ball Yes David, I think Airfix raised the bar with their recent B-17, but Hasegawa raised it from the old Airfix and Revell ones way back when!!

Andy Ball Thank you so much for the comments. The white camo went on a little too opaque, but I like to think that I've captured it straight out of the Eastern Front paint shop!

Andy Ball please don't be too impatient though!, this one is down the list a bit. I'm working on my old Hasegawa MiG-25 sooner.
21. March at 19:42:28
Maciej Bellos I am a slow builder myself, so I understand!
21. March at 19:48:53

Andy Ball Just to prove I actually make them, rather than stash them! So far not too bad. I'm not a rivet inspector, but I enjoy a little filling out of the basic kit. So far I've had a bit of a to-do with the kit's instrument panel-it will be replaced with the Yahu one in due course.
