My completed Dinah


Recommended Posts

I finished this several months ago, and it's been to a few shows. I used a PE set for the cockpit and then cut styrene to add detail to the rear position. I also scratch built the front and rear of the gear wells, as Tamiya left them open, as well as cut out the wing tip lights and replaced them with plexi. Also Quickboost resin exhausts, although they had to be 'fixed' as there were too many pipes for this aircraft.

 

It was painted with straight Tamiya colors (except for the trainer yellow on the wing leading edges that had to be mixed,) and weathered with preshading and prismacolor silver and a regular no2 pencil. The exhaust staining was done with artists chalks.

And with a one time adversary-turned shelf-mate.

And an older build, Tigercat.

1:72 scale Dinah?

 

No, it's 1/48 scale. I don't do much 1/72, except for a Matchbox Lancaster I'm currently doing, plans for an Airfix version and an Academy B-17C awaiting the start of a GB at the end of the year.

Doesn't this belong in The Display Case forum?

 

Ah, I was unaware of a Display Case. I will definitely search it out and load up any new ones there.

Nicely done. Dinah with that streamline nose has always been appealing. Instrument panel and seat detail; while you have to go looking for them they came out well.

 

And yes, that streamlined air frame and those huge nacelles are quite attractive!

Have had for some years Tamiya's 1/48 kits of this version and a night fighter one. Some day they will get built. 

Had pondered painting this style in a civilian livery imagining an alternate history where I had purchased a captured and surplused one.

 

That would be cool to see.
