  1. With some remaining time of work - and as a final-stage in my warm up toward Zvezda's PE-2 - I tackled the Eduard Bf 110 E. Overall I really loved making this kit - though there were some real struggles at some points. I had a tantrum with the shark mouth - sadly - and gave up on it, among other things... Also - the carpet monster (or in my case the gaping spaces between floor boards monster) got the pilot's right side window, and one gear-bay door. The kit was finished with Tamiya rattle cans - RAF Ocean Grey (bottom and top), and Tank Grey for the splinters. Panel lines were then darkened with a black / brown oil wash. Large spaces were then broken up with neat oil paint to bleach out panels - mostly white/grey mixtures. I did this far more heavily on the underside to emulate a lighter overall shade of paint. I have included a few 'along the way' shots - and hope that I haven't crossed the lines between WiP and RfI too much. Apologies if I have... But these non-final images felt like relevant points for anyone tempted to take on this build. The parts count is quite high by my standards, and to me, some of the kit is over engineered... The exhausts for example are all separate, and need to be assembled. It wasn't hard, but to me personally seems a needless fiddly task when the kit already has quite a lot of work required. Then again - others may of course love this sort of thing! The interiors are wonderfully detailed, and go together very nicely indeed. I sprayed all interiors tamiya gunship grey before sponging on Vallejo in various shades of grey to break it all up. The first real challenge on the kit is the nose - which just does not fit as far as I can see. I eventually had to take out all the bulkheads / gun mounts and sand the whole thing down separately, before gluing it to the fuselage, then sanding more. Wasn't impossible - but was odd given how fantastic other parts of the kit fit. Following this the other real strain with this build is the engine / wing joins. There's a 1-2 mm gap in terms of the nacelles' depth, and a 0.5-1mm gap in their height. They just aren't long or tall enough to meet the wing. A load of milliput sort of got me there - but I wasn't happy even by the end with this area of the build. Anyway - those were the only real issues - here are the images of the completed kit - which was the best result I have yet go from working oil paint onto surfaces to replicate bleaching / fading of paint. See first image for a before / after. As ever - all comments / criticisms are welcome. BEST, BRUCE
