In the end I liked the hand painted results. You just have to make sure that the width and paint coverage within a "squiggle" doesn't vary too much - which of course easily happens when using a brush. A pen would be easier, but ...
Addition: I did it in several sittings. Doing it all at once probably would have sent me to the looney bin (thinking about it: Didn't someone call this forum by the same name when welcoming me here????).
What I did not like about the Do was:
a) some relatively big fitting problems with the rear cockpit parts
b) lack of detail (cockpit) or parts just looking a bit out of scale/too thick
I bought it after some good experiences with Revell, like the Ar 234 (of course former Hasegawa), or especially the type VII sub and the GE Navy Fletcher class - but the Do 335 seems to be a way older kit (with new decals)
The diorama section will be included in a bigger display I am working on setting up as a replacement to my lacking show case space. I just put all planes in there for a quick and dirty way to take new pictures, as the ones I had of my kits were to big to upload here.
But I have a few times tried to create a small diorama just for taking pictures, also did it for my F1 cars. I guess I just like the "natural" setting.
