Eduard 1/72 Bf110E

[Andy T]

After a rough ride with the 1/48 version of this I decided to give the smaller scaled one a go.

So far, so good. Obviously there are less parts and less detail but the fit is much better than it's larger cousin.



Being the profipack there is a fair bit of PE included, like these tiny pedals



After some paint, adding the coloured etch parts, and a bit of weathering, it's just about ready for the fuselage to be closed up:

And a couple before I close it up and hide most of this forever

Superb cockpit andy , thats a lot of detail for 1/72 , painted up brilliantly. Hope this one doesnt give you as much grief as the 1/48 , cheers tony

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Tony. So far it's going together much better than the 1/48.

 

[Jim R]

Amazingly detailed for 1/72. Very neatly put together.

 

[minitnkr]

Beautifully done. Impressive.

 

[Waspie]

Nice work Andy. Heck of a lot of detail for such a small scale!!!

 

[Andy T]

Thank you gents.

I've spent a bit too much time working on the new model room today instead of in it but the fuselage is closed up and the seams have been sanded & rescribed.

 

[Si Benson]

Most excellent paint work Andy, even more impressive at the scale!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Cockpit looks superb. Really belies the scale. That’s crisper than some 1/32s.

 

[Andy T]

Thank you both very much. I guess I have the space to finally tackle a 1/32 but there's just something about these smaller scale planes that I like.

 

[Tworrs]

That is coming on to be an amazing model Andy

 

[Andy T]

Thanks Garry

The wings went on last night. The inevitable bit of sanding is needed on the leading edge but the general fit is very good.

 

[JayCee]

This is coming on very nice, Andy. I built the Eduard 110 in 1/72 a number of years ago, ( 75th BoB anniversary ), it was reckoned to be the best kit available at the time. I remember it went together very well.
John.

 

[Andy T]

Thanks John. Yes, it's going together great so far.

The nacelles fitted much better than the 1/48 version and the main airframe construction is now finished, just a bit of tidying to do.

 

[JR]

Andy looks brilliant in the office, .

You see why with it being so small I don't do them !

 

[Andy T]

I'm back onto this one. Construction is now complete and everything is mounted ready for primer.

Not looking forward to masking the canopy



The carpet monster has claimed its first sacrifice in the new room. The tiny PE antennas that fit under the fuselage

 

[Andy T]

Canopy parts are masked up and skewered ready for roasting painting, and the rest of the parts are in primer

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Missed this completely until now Andy!
That looks Soooo much better a kit than the 1/48 one you did, that cockpit looks incredible mate,fantastic work , looking forward to watching the rest of the build .

 

[Andy T]

Cheers Andy. I'm actually enjoying this rather than just plodding through like it's big brother

Day off today so will hopefully be cracking on with the paint. I'm running low on these colours but luckily it won't need a lot!
