  This model depicts the Dora flown by Hans Dortenman from Oct, 44 to May, 45. I have depicted it after its repaint and upgrading. The Tamiya kit errs in that it provides complete ceilings for its wheel wells, when in reality the Dora had cut away wheel wells, and the engine rump was visible through them. I excised the well ceilings, and installed the fore and aft bulkheads and engine rump from an Eduard kit. Tamiya's wheels are also too small, so my model wears Eduard wheels. The cannon are vinyl covered paper clips, while the seatbelt/buckles and the brake lines are scratch as is the FuG-25 antenna under the aft fuselage. Paints are WEM Colorcoats, RLM shades 76/82/83. Decals are from the spares box. I had to take a piece of clear decal sheet, and spray it 76 Hellblau. Once dry, I applied the swastikas to it, cut them out, and applied them to the model. The serial numbers are hand done on the same piece of decal sheet. Hal Sr
