on one of my looking around the net for info nights i came across this site
Dornier 17 Conservation Project - Aircraft Restoration at the Royal Air Force Museum

this got me interested in building another of my rare frog kits this time Dornier do17z-2,pics to follow once i've taken some plus i might add my airfix do17 with the later nose that needs restoring to compare the different types,the frog kit has the JU88 nose section fitted ,the airfix kit has the Dornier nose,

thanks for looking
 












progress so far,still a bit of detailing left to do in the cockpit before closing it up but i can't find many photos of the inside
of a do17,the last couple of pics show the aircraft in camo with a coat of gloss varnish,i don't know why but the colours
have changed a lot once the varnish was applied almost making them the same colour,any idea chaps,

thanks for looking
 
it has all the earmarks that the varnish to the paint reacted with making you the color varieties that happened to me once with a nail varnish malabu.
to find photos of the cabin Do17Z this complicated since there is not much photographic material from inside the cockpit, I have a project in hand but a scratch Do17z2 and almost all the material I found online, all books I found the cd luftarchiv.de and a special device with maps of the box but the cockpit rather little 3 or 4 photos that appear in the books or the Internet, but for example, to see the riveting intention can only be seen the cockpit.
 
revell gloss varnish over revell matt colours,i done this before with all the other models since i started using this to stop
marking silvering as suggested but this time i have problems
 
I see. It seems tha the varnish melted the top layer of paints and got reaction with them. Is the varnish of the same type like these paints? I mean acrylic varnish and acrylic paints for instance.
 












progress so far,i'm pleased with it now the camo has taken properly,one of the pics show an engine running for the 1st time
