1/48 Revell Bf110 G-4

[AlanG]

It's an oldish mould Colin. It's out of production now but can still be picked up on evilbay occasionally. There are some issues with the shape of the engines but it still looks like a Bf110 to me so that's all that counts. The cockpit is nicely detailed and is still really acceptable by todays standards

Hi Colin

If your lucky you can still pick one up at Modelzone. It's not listed on their website anymore but I have seen it in their Norwich and Cambridge branch.

Not worked on this for ages due to family holidays and work commitments. But i've finally got the canopy masked and am now starting to put the aeriel array onto it. It's going to be a long process me thinks.

Hi Allyne

Great masking must have taken you ages. Those aerials look like they are going to be real fun.

[AlanG]

I cheated Vaughan. I used Eduard masks lol. But still took ages to fit. I learned to use masks after free-handing my 1/72 He111 canopy. Now that was a labour of love and probably why i wear glasses so much lol

 

[Vaughan]

I think your very sensible. It will make all the difference to the end result defiantly worth the money. Glad your back on the case as you say it's been a while.

Vaughan

 

[AlanG]

It's getting there. Very slowly though. Array is very fragile when fitted

Hi Allyne looking very good a lot of hard work put into it so far. Would it not have been better to put the aerial array on last just in case they get knocked ?

Nice cock pit Al.

Did think about this but after these are fitted then it's painting time. I always try to leave the canopy and undercarriage until last.

 

[AlanG]

The beast has it's antlers fitted lol

[spanner570]

Allyne, please be careful not to knock the antlers off!!

I fixed these on my recent 1/72 FW190 nightfighter build when I reached the stage you are at now......I lost count the number of times I knocked/snapped the things off my model.

Gently Bentley!!

Looking good,

Ron

 

[Vaughan]

As Ron says be careful! Looking great by the way.

[colin m]

Looking great. I'm now wondering what sort of complex german camo scheme this will have ?

Just the bog standard one. I am going to do the more difficult one next time (i have another two in my stash)

 

[treyzx10r]

Allyne the whiskers look great,which standard scheme is it going to be? Meaning mottle or other of course

 

[AlanG]

RLM74 and 76 normal camo on wings with the same colours mottle on the fuselage. Stbd underwing is black for AA identification

 

[mossiepilot]

A beautiful looking nachtjager Allyne.

Been looking at a 1:72 Airfix 110, but money in short supply.

I'll keep looking for time being
