A few days ago I finished my Tamiya Do 335B and here are some pics of it.
This is the first Tamiya airplane model that I have built and it was very easy to make compared to many of the models I have made so far, I can’t wait to build some of the other Tamiya kits I have in my stash, mostly Fw 190 F’s and D-9’s.
My Do 335B is painted and marked as an operational a/c, no Do 335’s saw any combat in the war I just wanted my Do 335B to be different than other models I have seen.

Beautifuljob- on the model, the base and the photography!
Thanks chukw!
This is a great kit and everything fit together very well.

This is really outstanding work. Congratulations

Excellent job - I hope my two come out as well as yours! btw - did you use any aftermarket parts, or build it OOB?
As a side note, a few Do-335s did make it into operational service, and at least one was shot down. Maybe not the B model you’ve made, but I’m sure I’ve read that somewhere.
Awexome!!! Thanks for the look.
You have a geniune show-stopper there my friend. The paint job and weathering are top notch. Also your photos are fantastic! The over all look is very convincing. Congratulations on one of the better models I’ve seen on this forum.

Great job. I have one of those in the stash but want a B-6 conversion for it.
amazing, especially the photography. Did you use any photo backdrop with the diorama?
Very nicely done. Tamiya makes some really “fun” kits to build, which is what it is all about.
Excellent build. Looks great.

The Do 335B looks great Matrione

Thanks crocket, mikeiw, razordws, Jerry, Swanny, and mpartric for the comments!
mikeiw,
This model was built w/o any P/E or resin, only the decals are not stock.
Jerry,
Taking pictures of these models is nearly as much fun as building them. I will build some airfield buildings later this year and am working on some Luftwaffe start carts and a set of Preiser 1/48 scale Luftwaffe figures, late this year I might have some very convincing pictures to post.
Swanny,
I had hoped Tamiya would also produce the B-6 version, but looks like they may never.
mpartric,
The horizon and sky are airbrushed poster paper, I will be making a new backdrop out of foam board later this year. Poster paper is too flimsy and gets damaged too easy.

mucker, Rick, and Thad, Thanks for the kind words!

Looks great!
Matrixone,
Great job as usual! Your Dornier looks just like the one in the b&w photo (wink, wink).
Keep up the good work! Take care,
Mark
Thank you Fred and Mark!
Just wait 'till next year, I should have most if not all the things built that I need to make some realistic looking airfield pictures, I want to take pictures that look so real you can’t tell the difference if its a model or a real a/c.
Matrixone
Outstanding job Martixone! The model and the photography are great. The dio is well done. Awesome.
Cheers,
Eric
Thanks for the kind words Eric!
I have another model finished now I just need a chance to take some pics of it, in a day or two I plan to post pics of it.
