Twin Engined GB Eduard 1/48 Messershmitt - BF 110 Finished

[Skunkmiester]

Hi there,
may I join the group build please? I have only just started this one, I bought it a couple of weeks ago as I have always liked the 110. So far I have only given a base color to the components on the sprues.

It's an Eduard Profi Pack that was up on ebay for a rather cheap £22 (I thought Eduard models were usually a lot more)





So far I have only given a base color to the components on the sprues.

I'd have thought you'd be fine with that, but Deacon will confirm Looks like this'll be an interesting build!

[Deacon]

I really like WW2 twin engined stuff and the 110 is one of my favourites.

It's great to have you on board mate and I look forward to watching this progress.

Alan

[Skunkmiester]

Thank you Alan.

The cockpit is now completed.







And now I'll move onto the gun compartment and getting the airframe together.

[Craig]

Great start! That looks superb!

[Deacon]

Nice tidy work of the pit mate.

[Cimmerian]

Looking very nice. I have one of these lurking in the loft, I shall watch with interest.

[BFA]

This is going to be a beauty !

[Skunkmiester]

I'm doing a fair bit of filling and sanding at the moment, the engine nacelles are not quite Tamiya standard.

[Deacon]

Looking forward to teh next update sir.

[Tug 747]

Looking really good. These Eduard kits are really something so will be keen to see this one progress.

[Skunkmiester]

Well I'll be cutting this one a bit fine

Too much time in the garage making RC models and playing with balsa has delayed this build

[Deacon]

Nice tidy paint job so far mate.

[Skunkmiester]

Thank you, there are a couple of areas that I am not happy with and the shades are off but I'll tidy it up and see what I can do at the end of the build.





Next step is to get my 2020 out and have a go at the mottling.

[Deacon]

Nice and sharp lines, looking better and better.

[Skunkmiester]

Thank you

The medium grey is not dark enough though, I may have to re mask and do it again.

[Craig]

That's looking very smart! As Deacon says a nice tidy job

[Skunkmiester]

Time for some Micro Sol and weathering

[Deacon]

Wow mate, this really is looking good.

[Craig]

Awesome! That paint job is stunning!

[Tug 747]

Looking very nice and a impressive paint job too. Looking forward to seeing this finished.

[Skunkmiester]

Just a bit of highlighting to do now, not sure if I will manage it tomorrow, but I will try.

[Deacon]

Absolutely wonderful sir.

[Tug 747]

A stunning build. Well done

[Skunkmiester]

Thank you very much.

I'll finish the build there, I won't carry out any highlighting as I don't want to 'over weather' it.
