Thanks for posting that link PJ. Some really nice footage tehre. It really is a big aircraft and it must have been a real pain to take off and land with that lower tail section. A bit to much angle and your in trouble.
Yes, I agree with your statement in regards to takeoff and landing issues. We will just never know, oh well. Here is another update on my build of the infamous Do335!

Looks to be coming on nicely Toshi.
But can I make one suggestion, and that’s for your lighting. Your current set up seems to be casting shadows which make it hard to see. Would I be right in thinking you just have one light. If and when you can, I might suggest a second one which will help avoid casting the shadows.
I agree with Bish. I have 3 portable clip lights I got at Home Depot for photographing, eliminating the use of the flash and shadows.
The Pfeil’s tail was designed to come off via explosive charges in case the pilot had to punch out otherwise that big prop would make the pilot ground meat. I see in that film that the tail was an issue for landings and take offs.
I do recall reading that about the tail being jettisoned. I can’t image these would have been flown by novices.
Yes, only German aircrafts were the first ever planes to have ejection seats for the pilots. There is a sequence in which you have hit specific handles in order to eject the tail, prop, and finally the seat.
I actually have four lights, two of which are LED’s and two of which are old school 100 watt bulbs. I must apologize forum members as I have the lights angled in the wrong direction, hence the severe shadowing.
Mrs. Toshi and my daughter purchased a photo booth for me on in which on occasions I tend to forget to utilize it due to my excitement in completing a project. From this point on, I will not act like a little child (LOL!) and make sure to use the photo booth for photographing my work.

I have a feeling youre about to run out of masking tape. lol. She’s looking good, Toshi!
Here is some progress made this evening.
Very nice finish on the paint, Toshi. You’re getting rather good with the airbrush my friend.
Nice work Toshi and better pics as well. The Plain background is a big help.
Hard to believe you only started/restarted modeling only recently, Toshi. Impressive!
It’s getting there, I still need to hone my skills in fine detailing and weathering with the AB. Thank you for the compliment!
Toshi
Thanks, thats the photo booth My daughter and Mrs. Toshi purchased for me. I’ll be sure to use it all the time now.
