History and Modelling Notes for the Do335B-2

The Tamiya 61088 - 1/48 Dornier Do335B-2 Pfeil kit provides a compact yet detailed representation of the twin-engined WWII interceptor. The parts layout reflects the aircrafts unique push-pull engine arrangement and is aimed at modellers who want an accurate shelf piece.

Designed in the 1940s by the Luftwaffe, the Do335 was powered by two DB603 units rated at about 1750hp, giving it notable speed for the era. The B-2 Pfeil carried heavy armament intended for bomber interception, and even as prototypes it remains a compelling subject for historical modelling.

Is this kit suitable for a first-time builder?

The kit requires careful assembly and painting, so novices should be prepared for small parts and precise fitting or seek guidance from experienced builders.

What engines are modelled on the kit?

The model represents the twin DB603 powerplants used on the original aircraft, noted in historical sources as producing around 1750hp each in test configurations.

Can I upgrade the kit with aftermarket parts?

Yes, many builders add aftermarket resin or photoetched details for cockpits and external fittings, but check compatibility before purchasing upgrades.

How should I display the finished model?

A simple base or small diorama highlighting the nose-to-tail layout works well; consider a clear case to protect paint and small fittings.
